Fig. 5. Beat note frequency measurements.

Fig. 5

(A) Frequency of the beat note fb, plotted as a function of the THz frequency comb repetition rate, while keeping the QCL driving current at 540 mA and the TH fixed at 75 K. This measurement is used for the determination of N. (B) Frequency tuning of the 2.58-THz emission line of the DFG-QCL as a function of the QCL TH, measured while keeping the QCL driving current fixed at 540 mA. The 2.49-THz emission line shows a similar dependence. (C) QCL frequency tuning of the 2.58-THz emission line as a function of the driving current at different TH. The 2.49-THz emission line shows a similar dependence.
