Widest ranging series of tuneable lasers introduced by Daylight Solutions
US firm Daylight Solutions provides miniature fixed wavelength and broadly tunable lasers in the mid-infrared wavelength region to markets including Defense, and Scientific Research.
Quantum cascade lasers often comprise thousands of very thin III-V semiconductor layers. The laser sources manufactured by Daylight Solutions can be operated in both pulsed and continuous wave mode and the new series specify up to 1.6 µm of continuous tuning in a single laser head.
The Über Tuner™ range is claimed to represent a new standard in commercially available broad tunability in the mid-IR and will be suited to explosives and chemical warfare agent detection and hyperspectral imaging.
The patented ECqcL™ technology combined with recent advances in broadly tunable QC gain media has allowed for the engineering of the advanced Über Tuner™ cavity. This is claimed to have the best precision tuning over the broadest wavelength range available to date.
With extreme robustness and reliability, Daylight Solutions have claimed their previous laser products have from 1,000 to 10,000 hours of real-time operation.
"Once again, we are delivering on our strategic plan to expand wavelength coverage in evermore flexible packages" says Dr. Timothy Day, CEO/CTO of Daylight Solutions. "The Über Tuner™ is productizing performance that our customers have asked for again and again. We are pleased to make such broad tuning available as a standard product."
