PhD Project: Ultra-narrow linewidth swept sources at 850 nm based on acousto-optical tunable filter (AOTF) technology

Objective of my project:  The objective of my project is modelling of an emission linewidth broadening mechanism in a ring laser fibre cavity with an intra-cavity AOTF as a wavelength-selective element. In addition, this project also focuses on the development of linewidth narrowing to < 5pm FWHM by incorporating frequency-shift compensation techniques to an AOTF-assembly.
