Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are becoming a key tool in several advanced experiments in the field of precision molecular spectroscopy and absolute frequency metrology. In view of this, a thorough control of their emission properties must be achieved, including a narrow linewidth as well as a high frequency-stability combined with referencing to a primary standard. Here, we give a review on recent...
Microresonators have undergone an impressive development in the last decade, opening new pathways to nonlinear optics, laser stabilization, spectroscopy and sensing. Here we present our recent results on linewidth narrowing of quantum cascade lasers and chemical sensing using crystalline solid and liquid whispering-gallery-mode resonators.
A CaF2 whispering gallery mode microresonator is used for frequency stabilization and linewidth narrowing of a mid-IR quantum cascade laser. Sub-Doppler recording of a CO2 transition demonstrates the suitability of the system for high-resolution spectroscopy.
Narrow‐linewidth lasers are key elements in optical metrology and spectroscopy. Spectral purity of these lasers determines accuracy of the measurements and quality of collected data. Solid state and fiber lasers are stabilized to relatively large and complex external optical cavities or narrow atomic and molecular transitions to improve their spectral purity. While this stabilization technique is...
