A time-domain OCT system uses a low-coherence light source. The central wavelength is 1300 nm. If we want to design a system with an axial resolution finer than 15 μm, please determine the minimum linewidth.

The human eye can readily detect wavelengths from about 400 nm to 700 nm. If white light illuminates a diffraction grating having 890 lines/mm, over what range of angles does the visible m = 1 spectrum extend? θmin, θmax

The coherence length of an ordinary white light source can be increased if we place a color filter in front of the source, so that the light that passes through the filter is somewhat monochromatic. The minimum wavelength of the emerging light is 564 nm. What is the maximum wavelength in order for the coherence length to be 0.09900 mm?

White light (400 to 700 nm) is used to illuminate a double slit with a spacing of 1.25 mm. An interference pattern is observed on a screen placed 1.5 m away. A small hole located 3 mm above the white central stripe allows a small portion of the pattern to be analyzed by a high resolution spectrograph. What wavelengths will be absent in the portion of light analyzed by the spectograph?
