Abstract
Optical heterodyning between a CO2 gas laser and a current‐tunable Pb0.88Sn0.12Te diode laser has been observed with both lasers in CW operation. The beat frequency was tunable from under 50 MHz to 1300 MHz and from 300 MHz to 3500 MHz for heterodyne experiments with the P20 and P18 CO2 laser transitions, respectively.Keywords
