Fast Focal Plane Array Detector and Readout for Pulsed Opto- Thermal Radiometry
Mid-infrared focal plane array spectroscopic or spatial imaging of opto-thermal transient emission is reported. Pulsed near-surface optical heating of arbitrary unprepared room temperature surfaces produce depth-resolved transient thermal emissions in the mid-infrared chemical fingerprint spectral region. Two optical configurations, both offering a significant advance in pulsed photothermal rad...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Room Temperature, High-Power Terahertz Quantum Cascade Laser Sources Based on Difference-Frequency Generation
We present the current status of high-performance, compact, THz sources based on intracavity nonlinear frequency generation in mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers. Significant performance improvements of our THz sources in the power and wall plug efficiency are achieved by systematic optimizing the device’s active region, waveguide, and chip bonding strategy. High THz power up to 1.9 mW and 0.0...
متن کاملMonolithically, widely tunable quantum cascade lasers based on a heterogeneous active region design
Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have become important laser sources for accessing the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range, achieving watt-level continuous wave operation in a compact package at room temperature. However, up to now, wavelength tuning, which is desirable for most applications, has relied on external cavity feedback or exhibited a limited monolithic tuning range. Here we demonstrat...
متن کاملMonolithically Integrated Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Laser and Detector
We demonstrate the monolithic integration of a mid-infrared laser and detector utilizing a bi-functional quantum cascade active region. When biased, this active region provides optical gain, while it can be used as a detector at zero bias. With our novel approach we can measure the light intensity of the laser on the same chip without the need of external lenses or detectors. Based on a bound-t...
