Abstract
It has been shown theoretically and experimentally that short cavity swept lasers are passively mode locked. We develop a mathematical model of these lasers and the light field solutions are used to predict the coherence length and coherence revival behavior. The calculations compare favorably with data from a 990-1100 nm laser swept at 100 kHz suitable for optical coherence tomography applications.Keywords: (030.1640) Coherence; (110.4500) Optical coherence tomography; (140.0140) Lasers and laser optics; (140.3600) Lasers, tunable
