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 28):
The method of  claim 27 , wherein configuring the polarization changer length to minimize a thermal sensitivity of the output centroid wavelength includes configuring the polarization changer length to minimize the sensitivity to within \u00b10.2 ppm/\u00b0 C.
