A semi-automated manufacturing process for cost-efficient quantum cascade laser modules

Resonantly tunable quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are high-performance laser light sources for a wide range of spectroscopy applications in the mid-infrared (MIR) range. Their high brilliance enables minimal measurement times for more precise and efficient characterization processes and can be used, for example, in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, medicine or security technology. Until now, however, the production of QCL modules has been r…

Hybrid Automated Process Enhances Cost-Efficiency in Quantum Cascade Laser

Resonantly tunable quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have emerged as transformative light sources in the field of mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, renowned for their exceptional brilliance and wavelength tunability. These semiconductor lasers operate on intersubband transitions within quantum well heterostructures, enabling access to spectral regions between 4 and 11 micrometers—a range rich with molecular vibrational fingerprints essential for chem…
