Characteristics of laser diodes for interferometric use.
Low-coherence-length light from laser diode sources has applications in extending the useful range of interferometric fiber optic sensors. The characteristics of two commercial low-coherence laser diodes were investigated and compared with theoretical models to determine the operational characteristics of the devices. Reasonable trends in the comparison were seen.
