  • Abstract
    Three independent methods were used: 1) mixing of two HCN lasers; 2) mixing of the sixth harmonic of a klystron with an HCN laser; and 3) the incremental-loss method. The results are given. The most sensitive configuration was obtained using a corner reflector. The influence of local-oscillator (LO) power on the conversion losses of the diodes are investigated.
