The frequency tuning of a pulsed single-frequency quantum cascade laser with U-shaped cavity was studied when the temperature varied from 300 to 10 K in the wavelength range 7.7-7.5 μm, amounting to about 35 cm-1. The tuning of the laser frequency Δν~ 1 cm-1 was demonstrated in a time of about 50 ns during a laser power pulse. When the laser radiation frequency was swept during a pulse at room temperature, an absorption line of water vapor in the atmosphere was observed at a frequency of 1296.7 cm-1. Keywords: quantum cascade laser, U-shaped cavity, frequency tuning, water vapor absorption.
