| 2. The optical spectrum of SLD in the 1400 nm wavelength region is characterized by many deep and narrow notches, when measured with a standard optical spectrum analyzers (OSA) at high resolution. This is due to the absorption lines of OH molecules that exist in the pathway from the fiber output of the SLD to the detector of the OSA. These lines can be eliminated by filling the OSA with gases such as N2 to remove the OH molecules. | |
