Abstract

Tunable light source systems and methods with wavelength reference capability are disclosed. A method includes reference filtering a portion of a tunable light beam while the tunable center wavelength λis tuned over a range by adjusting a wavelength tuning parameter x. The method also includes detecting the reference-filtered tunable light beam and generating therefrom at least one detected light spectrum as a function of the tunable center wavelength λ. The method further includes determining a reference wavelength tuning parameter xcorresponding to a reference tunable center wavelength λbased on a maximum value of the at least one detected light spectrum.
