  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. We present the first results of experiments with GaAs adaptive photodetectors and superluminiscent diodes (SLD). These semiconductor light sources have very short coherence lengths (tens of microns) required for such important applications as high resolution laser ranging, profilometry, and medical optical coherence tomography.
