Coherence analysis of tightly locked mid-infrared quantum cascade laser frequency combs

Alexandre Parriaux, Kenichi N. Komagata, Mathieu Bertrand +3

Frequency combs are powerful tools for many applications and high performances are achieved by stabilizing these lasers. For operation in the mid-infrared, quantum cascade lasers (…

Coherent Control of Mid-Infrared Frequency Comb by Optical Injection of Near-Infrared Light

Kenichi N. Komagata, Alexandre Parriaux, Mathieu Bertrand +5

We demonstrate the use of a low power near-infrared laser illuminating the front facet of a quantum cascade laser (QCL) as an optical actuator for the coherent control of a mid-inf…

Few-cycle pulses from a graphene mode-locked all-fiber laser

D. Purdie, D. Popa, V. J. Wittwer +6

We combine a graphene mode-locked oscillator with an external compressor and achieve~29fs pulses with~52mW average power. This is a simple, low-cost, and robust setup, entirely fib…
