Broadening the optical bandwidth of quantum cascade lasers using RF noise current perturbations

We report on the broadening of the optical bandwidth of a distributed feedback quantum cascade laser (QCL) caused by the application of radio frequency (RF) noise to the injection current. The broadening is quantified both via Lamb-dip spectroscopy and the frequency noise power spectral density (PSD...
