- PublicationAccès libreAbsolute frequency referencing in the long wave infrared using a quantum cascade laser frequency comb(2022-4-4)
; ; ; ; Optical frequency combs (OFCs) based on quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have transformed mid-infrared spectroscopy. However, QCL-OFCs have not yet been exploited to provide a broadband absolute frequency reference. We demonstrate this possibility by performing comb-calibrated spectroscopy at 7.7 µm (1305 cm−1) using a QCL-OFC referenced to a molecular transition. We obtain 1.5·10−10 relative frequency stability (100-s integration time) and 3·10−9 relative frequency accuracy, comparable with state-of-the-art solutions relying on nonlinear frequency conversion. We show that QCL-OFCs can be locked with sub-Hz-level stability to a reference for hours, thus promising their use as metrological tools for the mid-infrared. - PublicationAccès libreCoherently-averaged dual comb spectrometer at 7.7 µm with master and follower quantum cascade lasers(2021-6)

; We characterized the dual wavelength operation of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) quantum cascade laser (QCL) operating at 4.5 μm using two independent optical frequency discriminators. The QCL emits up to 150 mW fairly evenly distributed between two adjacent Fabry-Perot modes separated by ≈11.6 GHz. We show a strong correlation between the instantaneous optical frequencies of the two lasing modes, characterized by a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.96. As a result, we stabilized one laser mode of the QCL to a N2O transition using a side-of-fringe locking technique, reducing its linewidth by a factor 6.2, from 406 kHz in free-running operation down to 65 kHz (at 1-ms observation time), and observed a simultaneous reduction of the frequency fluctuations of the second mode by a similar amount, resulting in a linewidth narrowing by a factor 5.4, from 380 kHz to 70 kHz. This proof-of-principle demonstration was performed with a standard DBR QCL that was not deliberately designed for dual-mode operation. These promising results open the door to the fabrication of more flexible dual-mode QCLs with the use of specifically designed gratings in the future.
