Continuous wave operation of a mid-infrared semiconductor laser at room temperature.
Continuous wave operation of quantum cascade lasers is reported up to a temperature of 312 kelvin. The devices were fabricated as buried heterostructure lasers with high-reflection coatings on both laser facets, resulting in continuous wave operation with optical output power ranging from 17 milliwatts at 292 kelvin to 3 milliwatts at 312 kelvin, at an emission wavelength of 9.1 micrometers. Th...
متن کاملContinuous-wave operation of a room-temperature, diode-laser-pumped, 946-nm Nd:YAG laser.
Single-stripe diode-laser-pumped operation of a continuous-wave 946-nm Nd:YAG laser with less than 10-mW threshold has been demonstrated. A slope efficiency of 16% near threshold was shown with a projected slope efficiency well above a threshold of 34% based on results under Rhodamine 6G dye-laser pumping. Nonlinear crystals for second-harmonic generation of this source were evaluated. KNbO(3) ...
متن کاملRoom-temperature mid-infrared laser sensor for trace gas detection.
Design and operation of a compact, portable, room-temperature mid-infrared gas sensor is reported. The sensor is based on continuous-wave difference-frequency generation (DFG) in bulk periodically poled lithium niobate at 4.6 mum, pumped by a solitary GaAlAs diode laser at 865 nm and a diode-pumped monolithic ring Nd:YAG laser at 1064.5 nm. The instrument was used for detection of CO in air at ...
متن کاملMid-infrared coincidence measurements on twin photons at room temperature
Quantum measurements using single-photon detectors are opening interesting new perspectives in diverse fields such as remote sensing, quantum cryptography and quantum computing. A particularly demanding class of applications relies on the simultaneous detection of correlated single photons. In the visible and near infrared wavelength ranges suitable single-photon detectors do exist. However, lo...
متن کاملRoom-temperature continuous-wave 1.55 lm GaInNAsSb laser on GaAs
Introduction: The proposal by Kondow and co-workers [1] of GaInNAs active regions for temperature insensitive GaAs-based lasers has led to significant success in the 1.3 mm regime, and performance currently exceeds that of competing InP-based devices. This effort has yielded InGaAs=GaAs lasers that emit out to 1.25 mm with exceedingly lowthreshold current densities [2], and emission has been ex...
