摘要：

Techniques which apply tunable quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) for target illumination suffer from fluctuations of the laser beam direction. This manuscript describes a method to stabilize the beam direction by using an active feedback loop. This approach corrects and stabilizes the laser pointing direction using the signal from a 4-element photo sensor as input to control an active 2 dimensional Galvo mirror system. Results are presented for measurements using known perturbations as well as actual mode hops intrinsic to external cavity QCL during wavelength tuning.
