Abstract

The recent advent of Quantum Cascade (QC) lasers^1,2 emitting in the mid-IR has greatly increased the availability of tunable lasers in this spectral region. Applications for such laser sources include high-resolution spectroscopy,^3,4 optical communications and chemical sensing.⁵ While these devices are intrinsically low-noise compared to diode lasers due to their near-zero alpha parameter,^1,6,7,8 a vast increase in their utility is obtained by frequency stabilizing them to a reference such as a molecular transition or a cavity resonance.
