摘要：

This paper reports frequency instability measurements made on two optically pumped CH3OH waveguide lasers working at 4.25 THz (70.5 µm) and at 2.52 THz (118 µm). The two-sample standard deviation σy(τ) is measured on the beat note generated by a point contact metal-insulator-metal diode. A fractional value of about 2·10−12 and 4 · 10−12 is reached over a 50 ms time interval, for the 70.5 µm and 118 µm line, respectively, of the free-running laser. © 1979 IEEE
