The QCL is modulated from the injection of the NIR laser diode, and this shifts the frequency of the signal in the cavity generating rapid interruption of the high-finesse cavity resonance. Optical interruption reduces the high bandwidth requirements of the QCL driver as well as lowers cost and complexity of the system.
