Narrow-line phase-locked quantum cascade laser in the 9.2 microm range.

چکیده
We report the operation of a 50 mW continuous-wave quantum cascade laser (QCL) in the 9.2 microm range, phase locked to a single-mode CO(2) laser with a tunable frequency offset. The wide free-running emission spectrum of the QCL (3-5 MHz) is strongly narrowed down to the kilohertz range, making it suitable for high-resolution molecular spectroscopy.

Temperature Effect on THz Quantum Cascade Lasers
A simple semi-phenomenological model, which accurately predicts the dependence of thresholdcurrent for temperature of Resonant-phonon three well quantum cascade laser based on verticaltransitions is offered. We found that, the longitude optical phonon scattering of thermally excitedelectrons is the most important limiting factor for thermal performance of high frequency THz QCLs.In low frequenc...
متن کاملFrequency and phase-lock control of a 3 THz quantum cascade laser.
We have locked the frequency of a 3 THz quantum cascade laser (QCL) to that of a far-infrared gas laser with a tunable microwave offset frequency. The locked QCL line shape is essentially Gaussian, with linewidths of 65 and 141 kHz at the -3 and -10 dB levels, respectively. The lock condition can be maintained indefinitely, without requiring temperature or bias current regulation of the QCL oth...
متن کاملPhase noise and temporal pulse characterisation of a Quantum dash laser
In this paper we present the characterisation of the phase noise and temporal shape of a quantum dash laser. The laser generates an optical comb with a line spacing of 24.5GHz, over a 10nm wide spectrum. The device can operate passively mode locked or actively locked to a synthesiser. The phase noise of the device has been measured and compared in both regimes. By actively mode locking the devi...

The primary objective in this program is the development of an extremely stable, low-jitter, single-frequency cw dye laser for use in a variety of applications such as optical communication and ultrahigh-resolution spectroscopy, and for studying fundamental interactions between radiation and matter. During the past year we have been concerned with the short-term stabilization of commercially av...
