Distributed Feedback Laser (Singlemode)

For gaz spectroscopy or trace gaz detection, single-mode, well-defined narrow linewidth lasers with precise tunability are required. For this purpose, quantum cascade lasers are built with a grating in the cavity that allow to exhibit an excellent single-mode behavior. DFB-QCLs can be precisely tuned with temperature (slow tuning) or current (quick tuning), and deliver a reasonable amount of output power.
  • Operation in Continuous Wave or Pulsed mode

    • See our stock of lasers!
    • Lead time 2 weeks

  • The lasers are mounted on different submounts and packaging:




  • Room temperature or Cryogenic operation

  • Output power:
    • Average: 2 - 10 mW
    • Peak : 100 - 500 mW

  • Beam divergence (full angle):
    • 60° perpendicular
    • 40° parallel

  • Operation equipment: Starter kit

Fabry-Perot Laser (Multimode)

In contrast to DFB singlemode lasers, the emission of Fabry-Perot (FP) QCLs is mainly multimode. Indeed, a FP-QCL is a laser whose emission spectrum is not adjusted by a grating. As result, the emission is mainly broad range.
