Mid-IR Semiconductor Lasers for Chemical Sensing
The development of mid-IR semiconductor diode lasers based on type-I1 interband cascade structures is presented. How these diode lasers can be developed to meet the requirements in chemical sensing applications is discussed.
متن کاملMid-IR Silicon Raman Lasers
Silicon is arguably the best Raman medium for the mid-wave infrared spectrum. This new technology can expand the application space of silicon photonics beyond data communication and into biochemical sensing, laser medicine, and LIDAR.
متن کاملQuantum Cascade Lasers Enhance Mid-IR Spectroscopy
Most vapor molecules have a unique absorption spectrum in the mid-IR region, so this range is of particular interest for trace gas analysis and chemical sensing. And quantum cascade (QC) lasers are ideal candidate light sources for mid-IR spectroscopy: Their emission wavelength reaches from the midto the far-IR with good power efficiency. QC lasers are based on the intersubband transitions betw...
متن کاملMid-infrared interband cascade lasers operating at ambient temperatures
We discuss the state-of-the-art performance of interband cascade lasers emitting in the 3–5μm spectral band. Broad-area devices with five active stages display pulsed threshold current densities as low as 400A cm−2 at room temperature. Auger decay rates are extracted from the analysis of threshold current densities and differential slope efficiencies of nearly 30 lasers, and found to be signifi...
متن کاملMid-IR 111-V Semiconductor Diode Lasers for Trace Gas Monitoring
It is widely recognized that the development of compact and efficient mid-IR (3-12 pm) sources would dramatically enhance chemical sensing capabilities since many gases of technological interest exhibit their fundamental absorption lines in this wavelength range. Examples of these include C& (3.3 pm), C02 (4.2 pm), CO (4.6 pm), and NO (5.3 pm). Though weaker overtone transitions in the 1-2 micr...
