Widely Tunable High Power Quantum Cascade Laser Arrays for Standoff Detection

To achieve the goals of this program improving spectral coverage and output power of monolithic QCL sources as well as the development of a production and manufacturing plan - we propose to develop in collaboration with MIT Lincoln Laboratory a broadly tunable high power source that is based on Eos"proprietary QCL array technology. The current generation of Eos"commercially available fully packaged QCLAs ("The Matchbox") can be tuned over a wavelength range of up to 200 cm-1. The development of the proposed next generation QCLA source with increased power level and spectral breadth will strongly benefit from Eos"s unique expertise and experience in design and fabrication of monolithic QCL sources.
