Description
Introducing the Model 1101-XX-CW-YYYY-BF, an OEM version of Pranalytica’s high power, continuous wave, room temperature midwave infrared laser system. This advanced laser system is designed to deliver up to 3.5 W of continuous wave optical power at a wavelength of 4.6 µm, or up to 2.5 W at 4.0 µm, all while operating at room temperature. The laser is housed in a robust butterfly package, which includes a high power quantum cascade laser mounted on a thermoelectric cooler, a thermistor for precise temperature sensing, and optics for optimal collimation of the laser output.
The innovative design of the quantum cascade laser features Pranalytica’s unique patent-pending structures, enabling high power continuous wave operation without the need for external chillers or water cooling systems. Additionally, the laser benefits from Pranalytica’s proprietary high reflectivity facet coating technology, ensuring reliable performance at high power levels. This makes the Model 1101-XX-CW-YYYY-BF an ideal choice for demanding applications that require consistent and powerful laser output.
For optimal performance, the OEM butterfly module requires an effective thermal management system to maintain the package body temperature below 35ºC. The module comes with specific electrical power specifications, and customers must provide a current-regulated power supply for both the QCL and the TEC. The thermistor data is crucial for feedback control of the TEC current, ensuring the QCL operates at a stable temperature. Additionally, this data serves as a safeguard, automatically shutting off power if the QCL device temperature exceeds 45ºC.
It is important to note that when the high power QCLs are used in conjunction with non-Pranalytica electronics drivers, no warranty is provided for the performance or lifespan of the QCL. The OEM version is available in several power output configurations, ranging from 0.5 W to 3.0 W, each designed to operate continuously in ambient conditions with the butterfly package maintained at temperatures below 35ºC. This flexibility allows users to select the power output that best suits their specific needs, ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness in their applications.
