Abstract
- We report on a new coherent source that, using a phase-lock scheme to an optical frequency-comb synthesizer, achieves a 10-Hz intrinsic linewidth, is tunable from 4 to 4.5 microm with a presettable absolute frequency and, when coupled to a high-finesse cavity, can provide a short-term absorption sensitivity of 1.3 x 10(-11) cm(-1)Hz,(-1/2). These unique spectral features make this source a precise tool for molecular physics.
