Free-Running Ring Quantum Cascade Laser with 50 kHz Linewidth

Alexandre Parriaux, Ina Heckelmann, Mathieu Bertrand +3

We report on the noise characterization of a free-running ring quantum cascade laser resonator emitting a single frequency mode around 7.7 m. Using a gas cell filled with NO…

Time-resolved spectroscopy of noise-driven collective states of light

Diego Piciocchi, Ina Heckelmann, Alexander Dikopoltsev +6

We study a collective liquid state of light in a fast-gain laser. Controlled temporal noise on the cavity modulation creates a fluctuating linear potential along the synthetic freq…
