High Peak Power Laser
Based on a unique gain-guided design, these Quantum Cascade Lasers are optimized for emitting short pulses from 20 ns to 1000 ns with minimum peak power of 20 W, or ~5 microjoules per pulse. Available on submount or in a HHL package with a dedicated driver, these lasers can be used for free-space optical communications, LIDAR applications and IR countermeasures.
The beam divergence of these lasers is much reduced in the horizontal axis compared to standard high power or low power devices. This is due to the unique large width of the active region of the gain-guided laser technology.
