Kilohertz linewidth from frequency-stabilized mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Frequency stabilization of mid-IR quantum cascade (QC) lasers to the kilohertz level has been accomplished by use of electronic servo techniques. With this active feedback, an 8.5µm QC distributed-feedback laser is locked to the side of a rovibrational resonance of nitrous oxide N2O at 1176.61 cm-1. A stabilized frequency-noise spectral density of 42 Hz/Hz has been measured at 100 kHz; the calculated laser linewidth is 12 kHz.
