Abstract
Modulation transfer spectroscopy is used to demonstrate absolute frequency stabilization of an 8.6-µm-wavelength quantum cascade laser against a sub-Doppler absorption of the ${{\rm{CHF}}_3}$ molecule. The obtained spectral emission properties are thoroughly characterized through a self-referenced optical frequency comb, stabilized against either a GPS-disciplined Rb clock or a 1.54-µm Er-fiber laser locked to a high-finesse ultra-low-expansion optical cavity. Fractional long-term stability and accuracy at a level of $4 \times {10^{- 12}}$ (at 100 s) and $3 \times {10^{- 10}}$, respectively, are demonstrated, along with an emission linewidth as narrow as 10 kHz for observation times of 0.1 s.
