**Continuous Wave Room Temperature High Power QCL System** The Model 1101-XX-CW-YYYY represents a cutting-edge advancement in laser technology, offering a high-power, continuous wave, air-cooled mid-wave or long-wave infrared laser system. This system delivers over 4.0 W of continuous wave optical power, operating seamlessly at room temperature across wavelengths ranging from 3.7 µm to over 12 µm. One of the standout features of this system is its ability to function without the need for external chillers, thanks to its air-cooled design.

The complete system package includes the laser head and a matched power supply, ensuring a ready-to-use solution for various environments. Incorporating Pranalytica’s patented quantum cascade laser structure designs, the Model 1101-XX-CW-YYYY achieves high power and efficiency in continuous wave operation at room temperature. This is made possible through the use of unique composite submount materials that enhance thermal management. Additionally, the laser is equipped with Pranalytica’s proprietary high reflectivity facet coating technology, which ensures reliable performance even at high CW power levels. The laser head, thermoelectric cooler, and collimating optics are all housed within a hermetically sealed package, providing robust and trouble-free operation.

The Model 1101-XX-CW-YYYY is available in various power output versions to suit specific needs. The laser system nomenclature, such as Model 1101-40-CW-1000, indicates a CW/RT QCL system with a center wavelength of 4.0 µm and a power output of 1.0W. This flexibility in wavelength and power output makes it adaptable for a wide range of applications. The system’s output beam is nearly collimated, with a spot size of approximately 5 mm at the exit from the laser head, and exhibits minimal divergence and excellent pointing stability. With its linearly polarized output and nearly diffraction-limited beam quality, the Model 1101-XX-CW-YYYY stands out as a reliable and efficient solution for advanced laser applications.
