Product Description:
Packaged Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCL) and Interband Cascade Lasers (ICL) are two types of mid-infrared (MIR) light sources, based on quantum cascade and interband cascade semiconductor structures, respectively. These lasers are widely used in applications such as spectroscopy, gas detection, environmental monitoring, and more. The lasers are typically packaged in industrial-standard forms, providing reliable light output with excellent thermal management and long-term stability. The packaging design ensures optimal performance in high-power, high-efficiency, and diverse application environments.
Key Features:
High Performance and Stability:QCL and ICL lasers provide stable, high-power light output. Whether operating in pulsed or continuous wave (CW) modes, they offer reliable performance under a wide range of operating conditions and maintain long-term reliability.
Mid-Infrared Wavelength Range:QCLs typically cover a wavelength range of 4μm to 12μm, while ICLs offer a wider wavelength range, from 3μm to 15μm, to meet various application needs. These wavelength ranges make these lasers ideal for molecular detection and chemical analysis.
Packaging Design:Packaged QCLs and ICLs typically use metal or ceramic packaging technology to provide excellent heat dissipation and protect the internal structure from environmental contamination. The packaging design enhances the laser's operational stability and reliability, especially under high-power drive conditions.
High Beam Quality:These lasers are usually designed for single-mode (or multi-mode) output, delivering excellent beam quality with a small divergence angle. This makes them suitable for precision applications, such as optical measurements and detection.
Excellent Thermal Management：The packaging design of QCL and ICL lasers emphasizes superior thermal management. High-efficiency heat dissipation structures prevent overheating, ensuring stable performance during long-duration, high-power operation and minimizing thermally induced losses.
Flexible Driving and Integration：Packaged QCL and ICL lasers can be integrated with various driver modules, optical components (such as fibers, lenses, etc.), and detection systems to meet specific application needs. These lasers are designed for easy integration, supporting modern optical system requirements.
Tunable Wavelength and Operating Modes：Many packaged QCL and ICL lasers offer tunable wavelength functionality, allowing users to fine-tune the output wavelength for specific applications. In addition, these lasers can operate in pulsed or continuous wave modes, providing flexible operation options.
