Limitations on miniature molecular frequency sources
Abstract
The employment of a carbon dioxide laser in a miniature molecular frequency source is considered, taking into account the various requirements which must be satisfied by the laser. It is desirable to employ an external modulator for a stable molecular frequency source. Suitable approaches for providing external modulation are discussed. Attention is also given to the design of a fluorescence detector array, the beam expander/collimator, the isolator, and miniature assembled units.
