Frequency stabilization of a Ho:Tm:YLF laser to absorption lines of carbon dioxide

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A single-frequency Ho:Tm:YLF laser, operating at an eye-safe wavelength of 2 µm, has been developed with tuning characteristics optimized for spectroscopy of absorption features. The laser frequency was stabilized to three different absorption lines of carbon dioxide by a wavelength modulation technique. Long-term frequency drift has been eliminated from the laser, and shorter-term jitter has been reduced to within 13.5 MHz of the absorption line center. This stabilized laser is an ideal injection seed source for a differential absorption lidar system for measurement of atmospheric gases.
