Abstract

See full text

A system and method for triggering data acquisition in a semiconductor laser system including outputting electromagnetic energy from the semiconductor laser over a range of wavelengths according to a signaling path. The signaling path includes a plurality of discrete data inputs to the semiconductor laser for outputting electromagnetic energy over a range of wavelengths and the signaling path includes one or more perturbances in transitioning from one wavelength to another wavelength along the signaling path. A series of triggering signals are generated for input to a measurement system by the semiconductor laser. The series of triggering signals include a non-uniform period between at least a first triggering signal and an adjacent second triggering signal, and the non-uniform period corresponds to at least one perturbance. The electromagnetic energy output from the semiconductor laser is detected based on the series of triggering signals.
