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 […]

Room Temperature Pulsed Single Mode Laser

RT-P-DFB-QCL Room Temperature Pulsed Single Mode Lasers 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 the […]

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 […]

Room Temperature Continuous Wave Frequency Comb Laser

Room Temperature Continuous Wave Frequency Comb LaserRT-CW-FC-QCL Frequency Comb Quantum Cascade Lasers are devices emitting light on a wide spectrum consisting of equidistant peaks in frequency space. The distance between these peaks being fixed, typically given by the pulse repetition rate of a train of ultrashort pulses, they can be used as rulers in the frequency […]

Room Temperature Continuous Wave Broad Gain Illuminator

Room Temperature Continuous Wave Broad Gain Illuminator RT-CW-BG-QCL Broad Gain Illuminators are Fabry-Pérot lasers designed for maximum width of the gain profile. They can be used as broad spectrum illuminators for spectroscopy or imaging. Combined with an anti-reflection coating, they are suitable for use in an external cavity to obtain a tunable laser with wide tuning […]

Extended Tuning Laser

Extended Tuning Laser QC-ET Alpes Lasers offers two types of extended tuning devices, both of which allow rapid tuning at fixed temperature in a wider range than standard DFB lasers. The QC-ET (described here) allows fully continuous tuning over 0.4% of the central wavelength, while the QC-XT allows piece-wise continuous tuning over 2% of the […]

eXtended Tuning Laser

“eXtended Tuning Laser”QC-XT Alpes Lasers offers two types of extended tuning devices, both of which allow rapid tuning at fixed temperature in a wider range than standard DFB lasers. The QC-ET allows fully continuous tuning over 0.4% of the central wavelength, while the QC-XT described here allows piece-wise continuous tuning over 2% of the central wavelength (40 cm-1 at […]

Room Temperature Pulsed Broad Gain Laser for EC

Chip on AN3U submount

Room Temperature Pulsed Broad Gain Laser for ECRT-P-BG-QCL Multimode lasers such the Room Temperature Continuous Wave Broad Gain Illuminator can be used in an External Cavity to provide single-mode operation with a broad tunability. You can read more here about Alpes’ External Cavity Laser Kit (ECLK). The following table lists the specific performance of the Broad Gain lasers […]

High Peak Power Laser

High Peak Power Laser RT-HPP-FP-QCL Alpes Lasers introduces its new high peak power sources. Based on a unique gain-guided design, these Quantum Cascade Lasers are optimized for emitting short pulses from 20 ns to 1000 ns with minimum peak power of 20 W, or ~5 microjoules per pulse. Available on submount or in a HHL […]
