Frequently Asked Questions

A QCL is a semiconductor laser that generates light in the mid wave to long wave infrared portions of the spectrum.

At the wavelength of 4.6 µm, the system produces in excess of 2 W of average power. Other wavelengths between 3.8 and 12 µm are available.

The applications include spectroscopy, free space optical communications, directed infrared countermeasures, and other security areas.

Yes, the passively cooled system is designed for benchtop use, and is virtually vibration-free. The system is self-contained and requires only external 20 VDC power to operate.

Yes, the system is available with the option of internal battery operation. With four CR123A internal batteries, the run time is more than 30 minutes for a 2 W QCL. The run time will be longer for lower power QCLs.
