Frequency comb swept lasers are the enabling technology of circular interferometric imaging, which was proposed to break the bottleneck of data acquisition and processing in optical coherence tomography (OCT) at video rate. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a highly coherent frequency comb swept laser by using a high-quality (high-Q) microring comb filter to discretize a Fourier-domain mode-locked (FDML) laser. The microring filter has a Q factor of 2×106 and a linewidth of 90MHz. To demonstrate the improvement in performance, a Fabry–Pérot comb filter with a Q factor of 6.2×104 and a linewidth of 3.1 GHz is also used in the experiment for comparison. Both comb filters have free spectral ranges (FSRs) of 50GHz for consistence. Stable and clearly discretized temporal waveforms and frequency comb spectra with 50 GHz FSR are observed. Adoption of the high-Q microring filter narrows the instantaneous linewidth of the FDML laser down to 1.5 GHz. The OCT system with the frequency comb swept laser source with a microring filter demonstrates an ultralong imaging range, which has a 6, 10, and 15 dB sensitivity roll-off length of 53, 73, and over 100 mm, respectively.

老化种子的鉴定对农业生产和粮食安全具有重要意义。利用红外光谱三级鉴别法(傅里叶变换红外光谱技术、二阶导数红外光谱技术和二维相关红外光谱技术相结合)对不同储藏年份的豆类种子进行区分。结果显示:3种豆类种子的傅里叶变换红外光谱图总体相似,且主要由蛋白质和碳水化合物的吸收峰组成;不同储藏年份的豆类种子的原始红外光谱仅在1800~700 cm -1范围内有微小差异,几个吸收强度比随储藏年份增加呈现下降趋势;方差分析显示不同储藏年份的种子的吸光度比有显著差异;不同储藏年份的
