Description
Model 1101-XX-QCW-YYYY-UC-MicroPF: High Average Power Quasi-CW Quantum Cascade Laser Platform The Model 1101-XX-QCW-YYYY-UC-MicroPF quantum cascade laser (QCL) system is a groundbreaking solution designed for OEM applications. Encased in a miniature butterfly package, this innovative product is accompanied by an ultra-small electronics driver board, making it an ideal choice for integration into various platforms. With its capability to produce over 2 W of average power at a wavelength of 4.6 µm and over 1 W at 4.0 µm, this QCL system offers versatility with other available wavelengths ranging from 3.8 µm to 12 µm.
Its passively cooled design ensures virtually vibration-free operation, perfect for environments where stability and reliability are paramount. This self-contained system requires only an external DC power source to function, simplifying integration into existing setups. The pulse shaping and power conditioning electronics are conveniently housed on the PCB, while the hermetically sealed butterfly package contains the QCL and related optics for collimating the output laser beam.
Designed for long-term stability, the system maintains consistent performance over extended periods, provided it operates within a stable temperature environment. This makes it an excellent choice for applications where precision and durability are critical. The Model 1101-XX-QCW-YYYY-UC-MicroPF is engineered to be maintenance-free, requiring no field adjustments. Its robust construction and superior beam quality ensure that it meets the high standards expected in demanding applications.
With its compact platform size of 4.25" (L) x 1" (W) x 0.5" (H) and a weight of only 50 grams, including the integrated electronics board, this laser platform is both lightweight and space-efficient. Whether for research, industrial, or specialized OEM applications, this QCL system offers a reliable and powerful solution.
