ABSTRACT:
A light source includes a light emitting diode and an optical fiber having a first end coupled to the output of the light emitting diode. A single or multiple transverse mode optical semiconductor amplifier has an input coupled to a second end of the optical fiber. The light source may be fabricated from discrete components or alternatively it may be fabricated as a monolithically integrated device.
