White light laser (WLL)

I never heard of these things.

Some google hits.

A customer wants to buy our fabry perot cavity. (It's confocal 20 cm
ROC for the mirrors) FSR ~380 MHz, finesse ~100. It's made for use
with our 780 nm diode laser. I asked him if he had a scanable laser,
and this is what he has. I worried that it won't work with his system.

What's the optical bandwidth of a WLL, certainly with a pulse rate of
80 MHz, it's gotta be more than 80 MHz, no?

Could be an octave or more if it has holey fibre/ grating pulse compression. Jan Hall and Ted Haench (both of whom I know slightly) got the Nobel Prize for that one.

I don't really know. People are doing all sorts of stuff with coupled fibers these days, and I've not kept up. (or ever knew much. :^)

Well I expressed my concern and we'll ship him one.
