Inst. for Quantum Electron., ETH Zurich, Zürich, Switzerland
Abstract :
The quantum cascade laser, operates over an extremely wide wavelength range in the mid-infrared with high output power and low power consumption (<;1W). A new generation of devices show enhanced wavelength multiplexing and tuning agility capabilities as well a frequency comb generation over more than 100cm-1.
