Infrared Product Conversations Part 2 - Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL)

The Quantum Cacscade Laser (QCL) is sought after for its emission in the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This rapidly evolving technology is used in many applications across industry, academia, medicine, and defense. QCLs are integrated into trace gas analyzers for absorption spectroscopy, aircraft systems, imaging devices, and even Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) instruments.
This podcast covers all the essentials of the QCL, from its structure and operation, to the different types offered by Hamamatsu (DFB, EC, package types). The benefits of a QCL versus other light sources in context to IR spectroscopy will also be discussed, closing with what is being done to address the higher cost associated with QCLs.
