Beam combining of quantum cascade laser arrays.
Wavelength beam combining was used to co-propagate beams from 28 elements in an array of distributed-feedback quantum cascade lasers (DFB-QCLs). The beam-quality product of the array, defined as the product of near-field spot size and far-field divergence for the entire array, was improved by a factor of 21 by using wavelength beam combining. To demonstrate the applicability of wavelength beam ...
متن کاملQuantum dot cascade laser
UNLABELLED We demonstrated an unambiguous quantum dot cascade laser based on InGaAs/GaAs/InAs/InAlAs heterostructure by making use of self-assembled quantum dots in the Stranski-Krastanow growth mode and two-step strain compensation active region design. The prototype generates stimulated emission at λ ~ 6.15 μm and a broad electroluminescence band with full width at half maximum over 3 μm. The...
متن کاملQuantum cascade laser technology
In the mid-infrared spectral region, where continuous wave room temperature operation of the QCL devices was achieved in the previous phase of the program, the main goal will be to further broaden the frequency range over which these high performances are achieved. Another important topic is the fabrication of devices with a very large frequency tuning capability, which will enable the spectros...

متن کاملPassive coherent beam combining of quantum-cascade lasers with a Dammann grating.
An external cavity using a binary phase grating has been developed to achieve coherent combining of five quantum-cascade lasers emitting at 4.65 μm. The grating phase profile is designed to combine five beams of equal intensities into a single beam with a good efficiency (~75%). The performances of this cavity concerning output power, stability, combining efficiency and beam quality are detaile...
