A readout using a frequency-chirped laser is investigated in a spectrum analyzer with spectral-hole-burning (SHB). An analysis based on the Bloch equations is presented for the spectral distortion due to a fast readout, and a recovery algorithm is developed for the distortion. The experiment of a SHB spectrum analyzer is executed to demonstrate the optical spectral distortion due to fast readout. The experimental spectral distortion is recovered by the recovery algorithm developed from the Bloch equations.
