Abstract
We demonstrate fiber-optical-parametric-oscillator-based swept-wavelength source operating simultaneously in 1.3 ¿m and 1.9 ¿m bands. Total wavelength sweep range of 329 nm/s with cumulative speed exceeding 70000 nm/s is achieved by a seeding source generating 25 nm sweep at 6000 nm/s rate.
