Abstract
Recently, direct rf modulation of lead-salt diode lasers (TDLs) has been utilized In conjunction with heterodyne detection to demonstrate frequency modulation (FM) spectroscopy in the IR region, 1,2 The FM techniques have the potential for shot-noise-limited detection combined with microsecond time resolution, but these two objectives have not yet been demonstrated simultaneously.
