Daylight Solutions is pleased to provide the world’s first broadly tunable mid-IR lasers based on quantum cascade technology. Center wavelengths span the mid-IR spectrum from 4 µm to 12 µm and provide continuous tuning of up to 100 cm –I (±5% for a 10 µm center wavelength). All lasers offer superb wavelength accuracy and stability throughout their tuning range.
Designed by the world’s leading experts in tunable lasers, these sources are small, robust, and utilize specially designed miniature lenses to optimize system performance. Each system integrates TEC technology for behind-the-scenes temperature control, so no cryogenic cooling is required.
To round out the turn-key system, each tunable laser is shipped with an intuitive, easy to use multifunction controller. The controller is accessible to a PV through RS_232 and GPIB interfaces, future firmware upgrades will enable USB interface. This allows external control of the tunable laser for a variety of applications, including scientific research and its development. The controller is also manually accessible through its easy to use front panel.
Daylight Solutions’ overall system leverages the 15 years in tunable laser development and manufacturing, and incorporates the company’s latest patent-pending tuning and packaging technology for the mid-IR.
The availability of robust, easy-to-use tunable lasers in the 4-12 µm region of the spectrum in now a reality. These lasers enable application research in the field of molecular detection and imaging. Common applications include industrial process control, the detection of chemical and biological agents.
