High efficiency quantum cascade laser frequency comb
An efficient mid-infrared frequency comb source is of great interest to high speed, high resolution spectroscopy and metrology. Here we demonstrate a mid-IR quantum cascade laser frequency comb with a high power output and narrow beatnote linewidth at room temperature. The active region was designed with a strong-coupling between the injector and the upper lasing level for high internal quantum...
متن کاملPhase-locking of a 3.1THz quantum cascade laser to terahertz reference generated by a frequency comb
We are developing a low noise heterodyne receiver at 3THz band for applications of atmospheric and astronomical research and for application of wireless communications. We have developed a phase-locking system of a terahertz quantum cascade laser (THz-QCL) by using a hot electron bolometer mixer. The THz-QCL was locked to terahertz reference generated by an optical frequency comb and a photo mi...

متن کاملEvidence for frequency comb emission from a Fabry-Pérot terahertz quantum-cascade laser.
We report on a broad-band terahertz quantum-cascade laser (QCL) with a long Fabry-Pérot ridge cavity, for which the tuning range of the individual laser modes exceeds the mode spacing. While a spectral range of approximately 60 GHz (2 cm(-1)) is continuously covered by current and temperature tuning, the total emission range spans more than 270 GHz (9 cm(-1)). Within certain operating ranges, w...
متن کاملFrequency characterization of a swept- and fixed-wavelength external-cavity quantum cascade laser by use of a frequency comb.
The instantaneous optical frequency of an external-cavity quantum cascade laser (QCL) is characterized by comparison to a near-infrared frequency comb. Fluctuations in the instantaneous optical frequency are analyzed to determine the frequency-noise power spectral density for the external-cavity QCL both during fixed-wavelength and swept-wavelength operation. The noise performance of a near-inf...
