Symp. IEEE/LEOS Benelux Chapter", year="2006", pages="125--128", abstract="We have studied the linewidth and phase-locking of a 2.7 THz quantum cascade laser by using a superconducting bolometer mixer. The 8 GHz beat signal is compared with a microwave reference with a feedback to the laser bias current. Phase locking has been demonstrated, resulting in an extremely narrow beat linewidth of less than 10 Hz. Under frequency-stabilization conditions we find that the line profile is virtually Lorentzian with a long-term minimum linewidth of the THz modes of about 6.3 kHz. Temperature dependent measurements suggestthat this linewidthdoes not approach the Schawlow-Townes limit.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=968), last updated on Tue, 25 May 2021 14:48:25 -0500" }
