9.68um High-Power Desktop DFB-QCL Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Laser (Desktop Light Source)
9.68um high power benchtop DFB-QCL mid-infrared quantum cascade laser is a mid-infrared test laser developed by Idealphotonics in the first half of 2019. The low loss of the atmospheric window is conducive to the test research of space optical communications. Our benchtop light source has high power and does not require ITAR review, which is an excellent choice for commercial mid-infrared test light sources. Our laser has built-in Znse collimated output, stable output power, and high temperature and wavelength stability, which is several orders of magnitude higher than the stability of traditional high-power quantum cascade lasers.
Product features:Low power consumption, high power; Narrow line width;Compact structure;Software intelligent control;Built-in FPGA
Part Number:MP-QCL-9680-DFB-100-B

Laboratory Testing
An experiment was conducted to measure NF₃ gas absorption using the 9.68μm laser (with collimated output), a 5-meter path length miniaturized mid-infrared gas cell, and a PCI-4TE-9-1x1 infrared detection module.


Procedure:Connect the 9.68μm quantum cascade laser to power and USB, and turn on the laser via the dedicated TDLAS control software.Connect the infrared detection module to one end of the gas cell. Align the laser with the gas cell's input aperture on the other end, adjusting the laser's position to ensure coaxial alignment.Connect the detector's received signal to the laser, and use a lock-in amplifier to demodulate the second harmonic signal for observation on an oscilloscope.Tune the laser's phase, current, gain, and temperature to obtain the optimal signal waveform.

To verify that the absorption was due to NF₃ gas, the parameters were checked against a database.

We can see that the absorption peaks in our oscilloscope trace correspond to the database entries, thus confirming that the absorption spectrum observed on the oscilloscope is indeed from NF₃ gas.
