Question:

The first* experiment directly measuring the bandwidth of a laser (in this case a continuous-wave Pb0.88Sn0.12 Te diode laser) was carried out in 1969. The laser, operating at λ0 = 10 600 nm, was heterodyned with a CO2 laser, and bandwidths as narrow as 54 kHz were observed. Compute the corresponding frequency stability and coherence length for the lead-tin-telluride laser.
