Quantum Cascade Lasers
Tumor-LN-oC
Tumor and Lymph Node on Chip for cancer studies
Alpes Lasers is a partner in the recently-launched Tumor-LN-oC project which proposes the development of a tumor-lymph node-on-chip (Tumor-LN-oC) platform composed of 3D tissue models and microfluidic chips.
Using sensitive off-chip proteomic and molecular approaches this platform will allow the identification of novel biomarkers characterizing metastatic cells which could be exploited therapeutically by generating a spectral “fingerprint” to be used be used for diagnostic purposes.

ICL Single Mode Lasers
Interband Cascade Lasers (ICL) are a mid-IR light source with emission in the 2.7-3.9 μm range, which is important in particular for hydrocarbon detection and other gases of interest. They are now available at the selected frequencies of 2853 cm-1, 2898 cm-1, 2913 cm-1 and 2946 cm-1 (respectively 3505 nm, 3450 nm, 3433 nm and 3394nm).ICL-based External Cavities
Available Now!
Alpes Lasers now offers Broad Gain Interband Cascade Laser (ICL) chips for use in External cavity systems. ICLs allow emission at shorter wavelengths than traditional QCLs, many of which are particularly interesting for hydrocarbon detection. The initially offered chip covers the range 3.2-3.6 um (2820-3070 cm-1) which contains strong absorption lines for CH4, C2H6, HCl and CH2O (formaldehyde).
