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 کاملRemote mid-infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy with a quantum cascade laser.
We demonstrate non-contact remote photoacoustic spectroscopy in the mid-infrared region. A room-temperature-operated pulsed external-cavity quantum cascade laser is used to excite photoacoustic waves within a semitransparent sample. The ultrasonic waves are detected remotely on the opposite side of the sample using a fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer, thereby avoiding problems associated ...
متن کاملMonolithically Integrated Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Laser and Detector
We demonstrate the monolithic integration of a mid-infrared laser and detector utilizing a bi-functional quantum cascade active region. When biased, this active region provides optical gain, while it can be used as a detector at zero bias. With our novel approach we can measure the light intensity of the laser on the same chip without the need of external lenses or detectors. Based on a bound-t...
متن کاملHigh-coherence mid-infrared frequency comb.
We report on the generation of a frequency comb around 4330 nm with an unprecedented coherence of the single teeth. Generating the comb within a Ti:sapphire laser cavity by a difference-frequency process and using a phase-lock scheme based on direct digital synthesis, we achieve a tooth linewidth of 2.0 kHz in a 1-s timescale (750 Hz in 20 ms). The generated per-tooth power of 1 μW ranks this c...
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...
