Sample Grating Distributed Feedback Quantum Cascade Laser Array
A sample grating distributed feedback quantum cascade laser array aim at broad tunability and enhanced side mode suppression ratios is presented. Utilizing a sample grating dependence on emission wavelength and epitaxial side down bonding technique, the array of laser ridges exhibited three separated single mode emissions centered at 4.760, 4.721, and 4.711 μm respectively, in continuous wave a...
متن کاملFrequency noise of free-running 4.6 μm distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers near room temperature.
The frequency noise properties of commercial distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers emitting in the 4.6 μm range and operated in cw mode near room temperature (277 K) are presented. The measured frequency noise power spectral density reveals a flicker noise dropping down to the very low level of <100 Hz(2)/Hz at 10 MHz Fourier frequency and is globally a factor of 100 lower than data recen...
متن کاملMeasuring frequency noise and intrinsic linewidth of a room-temperature DFB quantum cascade laser.
The frequency-noise power spectral density of a room-temperature distributed-feedback quantum cascade laser emitting at λ = 4.36 μm has been measured. An intrinsic linewidth value of 260 Hz is retrieved, in reasonable agreement with theoretical calculations. A noise reduction of about a factor 200 in most of the frequency interval is also found, with respect to a cryogenic laser at the same wav...
متن کاملTrace-gas detection in ambient air with a thermoelectrically cooled, pulsed quantum-cascade distributed feedback laser.
A pulsed quantum-cascade distributed feedback laser operating at near room temperature was used for sensitive high-resolution IR absorption spectroscopy of ambient air at a wavelength of approximately 8 microm. Near-transform-limited laser pulses were obtained owing to short (approximately 5-ns) current pulse excitation and optimized electrical coupling. Fast and slow computer-controlled freque...
متن کاملThree-dimensional terahertz imaging using swept-frequency feedback interferometry with a quantum cascade laser.
We demonstrate coherent three-dimensional terahertz imaging by frequency modulation of a quantum cascade laser in a compact and experimentally simple self-mixing scheme. Through this approach, we can realize significantly faster acquisition rates compared to previous schemes employing longitudinal mechanical scanning of a sample. We achieve a depth resolution of better than 0.1 μm with a power ...
