QCL's
QCLs are tunable infrared light sources. Our QCLs are from our partners, Alpes Lasers SA in Switzerland. QCL technology and production has rapidly matured, and they are being applied in a wide range of applications.
QCLs are generally available from from Alpes Lasers inventory in the wavelength region from 3.2 to 16+ microns. Ongoing developments are expanding the waveband ranges to both higher and lower wavelengths.
Lasers are available in a range of packaging options depending upon your application and set-up. Packages provide appropriate electrical, optical, mechanical and thermal interfaces for your particular device.
We now have for quick delivery selected CW-DFB lasers pre-packed in HHL housings. See below for the available off-the shelf lasers.
Tunable External Cavity QCL Systems
Block's LaserTune mid-IR laser systems are designed for flexible use in a wide variety of applications. Our pulsed quantum cascade lasers feature compact packages that are free of bulky external cooling associated with CW lasers.
The single-tuner LaserTune-S offers a user-selectable laser module covering 2-3 microns within a range of 5.4-12.8 µm. Compared with previous versions, this next-generation design offers a 6x power increase, orders of magnitude tighter thermal and temporal stability, and powerful electronics with unique pulse design capabilities. The LaserTune-S can be packaged for OEM integration or laboratory use.
The broader-range LaserTune features up to 4 quantum cascade laser modules with the ability to cover an entire gap-free 5.4-12.8 µm mid-infrared range. The LaserTune can be configured with 1, 2, or 3 laser modules for customers who don't need the full coverage provided by all 4 modules.
