Abstract
We demonstrate a 10Â GHz spectrum analyzer with MHz resolution and a 30Â dB dynamic range using the spectral hole burning (SHB) Tm3+:YAG crystal working at 793Â nm. Thanks to the fast and linear chirping capabilities of the laser used, it has a potential 100% probability of interception and a response time in the ms range. The system is compared to a previously demonstrated SHB spectral analyzer. We also investigate theoretically and experimentally the requirements for the frequency chirped laser sources spectral purity and their influences on the precision of our experiment.
