Problems solved by technology

According to the characteristics of the filter, in order to meet the requirements of high-speed wavelength scanning of the frequency-sweeping light source, an excitation signal with a signal frequency exceeding 50KHz needs to be added to the filter in the actual system, but the existing signal generating device cannot meet this requirement
[0004] The existing devices that can be used as filter drive signals are divided into two types, one is adjustable peak-to-peak value and adjustable frequency, but the output current power is low, and the output impedance can only reach about 50 ohms in general, which cannot be driven stably A filter driver similar to a signal generator at high frequencies; one is a production filter driver designed by a filter manufacturer, which has the characteristics of adjustable frequency and stable operation, but the output waveform frequency of this solution is not enough

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of frequency-sweeping optical coherence tomography and optical fiber sensing, in particular to a filter driving circuit for a frequency-sweeping light source. Background technique [0002] The frequency-sweeping light source is a light source that outputs monochromatic waves of different wavelengths in the time domain. It only resolves monochromatic waves of a certain fixed wavelength from the broadband spectrum at a certain moment through the rapid scanning of narrow-band wavelength filters. In order to achieve fast, narrow instantaneous linewidth and linear broadband sweep output, it can be widely used in optical coherence tomography (Optical Coherence Tomography, OCT for short) and optical fiber sensing and other fields. Among them, as a key component of the frequency-sweeping light source, the drive of the filter is crucial to the parameters of the frequency-sweeping light source. [0003] One of the ways to rea...
