The LaserTune (left), a packaged QCL by Block Engineering, is the light source in the company's LaserWarn 'trip-wire' open-path gas-sensing system (right).
The result will be detection of trace chemicals at standoff distances of at least 100 ft.
FIGURE 1. A QCL has multiple active regions through which electrons cascade, each of hundreds of semiconductor layers deposited with nanometer precision.
The widely tunable quantum-cascade laser is becoming a valuable light source in the "fingerprint" region; these devices can be integrated into small, rugged spectrometers for ...
