Dataset description

This archive contains the dataset associated with the publication entitled Injection locking of a terahertz quantum cascade laser to a telecommunications wavelength frequency comb. In this work we injection lock a QCL operating at 2 THz to a compact fibre-based telecommunications wavelength frequency comb, where the comb line spacing is referenced to a microwave frequency reference. This results in the QCL frequency locking to an integer harmonic of the microwave reference, and the QCL linewidth reducing to the multiplied linewidth of the microwave reference, < 100 Hz. Furthermore, we perform phase-resolved detection of the locked QCL and measure the phase noise of the locked system to be –75 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from 2 THz carrier.
