Abstract:
A broadband light source apparatus, and corresponding method, includes a broadband light source configured to provide broadband source light characterized by a source wavelength spectrum. The apparatus also includes a broadband optical filter including both a polarization changer with a length, as well as an exit polarizer. The broadband optical filter receives the source light and delivers broadband output light characterized by an output wavelength spectrum that is a function of the source wavelength spectrum and the polarization changer length and has an output centroid wavelength. The polarization changer length is configured to minimize a thermal sensitivity of the output centroid wavelength. The filter can be configured in view of a particular source wavelength spectrum to thermally stabilize the centroid wavelength and to maximize relative integrated output power passively with respect to ambient temperature fluctuations.

Claim (Index 24):
A method for optimizing broadband light, the method comprising:\n providing broadband source light characterized by a source wavelength spectrum; configuring a broadband optical filter to include a polarization changer and an exit polarizer, the polarization changer having a polarization changer length; configuring the broadband optical filter to receive the source light and to deliver broadband output light characterized by an output wavelength spectrum having an output centroid wavelength, the output wavelength spectrum being a function of the source wavelength spectrum and the polarization changer length; and configuring the polarization changer length to minimize a thermal sensitivity of the output centroid wavelength.
