QCL's
We now have for quick delivery selected CW-DFB lasers pre-packed in HHL housings. See below for the available off-the shelf lasers.
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.
Tunable External Cavity QCL Systems
Alpes Lasers introduces the GLIDERwidely tunable mid-IR light source. Based on a external cavity design, the Glider is a monolithic all-in-one light source that requires no assembly or external drivers. The optical output is a single-beam of light whose wavelength can be selected within a range of up to ~2200 cm –1. GLIDER is designed for single-mode operation with wide spectral tunability. The Glider consists of single or multiple quantum cascade laser (QCL) gain chip, a grating-tuned extended optical cavity in Littrow configuration, driver electronics and control software.
Block Engineering'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.
