08 Jun 2009 Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the new range of Quantum Cascade DFB Lasers. The new L10195 series is available as standard with two wavelength options, 7.7 microns for the L10195-01 and 5.2 microns for the L10195-02, each with a typical output power of 15 mW.
New Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) technology is the only mid-infrared semiconductor laser that can easily operate at room temperature utilising peltier cooling. Since the L10195 has a very narrow spectral linewidth, and wide tunability by changing the chip temperature, it is an excellent candidate for the next generation Infrared laser spectroscopy systems. This technique has widespread applications for environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics (such as human breath analysis) and security applications (such as explosives detection). |
