Room Temperature Continuous Wave Single Mode Laser

Room Temperature Continuous Wave Single Mode Laser RT-CW-DFB-QCL In a Single Mode Laser, a grating is etched into the active region to force the operation of the laser at very specific wavelength determined by the grating periodicity. As a result, the laser emits on a single spectral setting which may be adjusted slightly by changing […]
