Abstract

The output frequency and phase of an external cavity quantum-cascade laser is phase-locked to an RF reference via two techniques: 1) down conversion with a diode harmonic mixer and locking to 100 MHz reference using the laser as a voltage tunable oscillator, and 2) directly injection locking the laser using the output of a 2.5 THz diode frequency multiplier source.
