4.53um 20mW DFB-CW QCL Continuous Wave Quantum Cascade Laser
QCL is a semiconductor laser that emits in the mid-infrared region (4 um to 10 um). Due to its emission mechanism being completely different from conventional laser diodes, QCLs have attracted significant attention as an innovative solution for mid-infrared applications such as trace gas analysis in environmental monitoring.The quantum cascade laser utilizes SPC (Single Phonon Continuum) depopulation and a DFB (Distributed Feedback) structure, emitting continuous-wave mid-infrared laser radiation at room temperature.The operating temperature of the chip is controlled by a Peltier element housed in an HHL package, allowing mode-hop-free tuning of the emission wavelength while maintaining longitudinal single-mode operation.
Product features:Continuous wave output; DFB single-mode characteristics; precise temperature control; low-noise driving; industrial-grade package
Part Number:MP-QCL-4530-DFB-20
