Abstract

The spectral linewidth of a 3.28 μm difference-frequency-generation source has been reduced to 3.5 kHz using a laser linewidth transfer technique [Opt. Express 21, 7891 (2013) [CrossRef]  ]. We use an optical frequency comb with a broad servo bandwidth to transfer a narrow linewidth of a pump laser, a 1.06 μm Nd:YAG laser, to a signal laser, a 1.57 μm external-cavity laser diode. This source enables us to record the Lamb dip of the ν3 band R(2) E transition of methane with a molecular spectral linewidth of 21 kHz while the frequency axis is absolutely calibrated.
