Beam Combiner
Beam Combiner The Alpes Lasers Beam Combiner is a platform that allows the output beam of two different quantum cascade lasers in standard HHL housing to be combined into a single beam. The system uses fixed optics to rotate the polarization of one of the beam and combines them using a polarizing plate, resulting in […]

S-4 CW Driver
S-4 CW Driver High Compliance CW Driver for Quantum Cascade Lasers The S-4 High Compliance CW driver is compatible with QCL or ICL lasers from Alpes Lasers and is available either as a standalone driver or within a Kit combined the TC-3 Temperature controller, lasers and cables to constitue a complete light emitting source. The […]
QC-XT Laser used for CO/N2O/CO2/H2O detection
A team from the University of Bari in collaboration with Alpes Lasers uses a QC-XT laser combined with a quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy setup to measure carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water vapor (H2O) simultaneously. The device emission wavelengths ranged from 2100 cm-1 to 2250 cm-1 and the achieved minimum detection […]
High Power Lasers
High Power LasersRT-HP-FP-QCL High Power Sources have a minimum average power of 1W and more than 9W of peak power. Available in a collimated HHL package with a dedicated driver, these lasers can be used for free-space optical communications, energy deposition, illumination and IR countermeasures. High Power lasers are currently available at the following central […]
Shock and Vibration Testing
Shock and Vibration Testing Alpes Lasers SA offers a service of shock and vibration testing. Originally designed for qualifying laser devices to the MIL-STD-810H defense standard, the same tests can be applied to a variety of different products. Key Features Random Vibrations Sawtooth Shocks Halfsine Shocks In order to adapt your product to the test chamber, […]
Custom product development
Custom Product Development For some applications, stock material will simply not do in terms of specifications or numbers available. In that case, we are ready to consider development projects; either to build a one-off item or to start a new series of products in collaboration with you. Various financing options are possible, from a NRE […]
ICL-based External Cavities
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 μm (2820-3070 cm-1) which contains strong absorption lines for CH4, C2H6, HCl and CH2O (formaldehyde).Contact us at sales@alpeslasers.ch for more information!
Phosphine on Venus
Phosphine (PH3) – a possible biosignature on rocky planets – was detected in significant quantities in Venus’ atmosphere. With absorption spectra in the mid-IR, Alpes Lasers QCLs are uniquely suited for measuring phosphine even at extremely low concentrations. See how our QCLs have recently been used to measure PH3 concentrations.
