Miniature wavelength-swept laser source schematic (left). The output from a semiconductor gain medium illuminated a grating and was deflected via a resonant scanning mirror such that only one wavelength of light was amplified within the laser cavity. As the resonant mirror rotated, the laser’s output wavelength was swept in time. A photograph of the source (right) is shown adjacent to a pack of cards for scale.
