Research abstract
The development of monolithic dual-band quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) delivering CW optical power exceeding 3W simultaneously at ~4.6Ąm and ~4.0Ąm from a single emitter in a nearly Gaussian output beam (M2 < 1.5) with wallplug efficiency exceeding 15% is proposed. The entire QCL package will have a volume size of less than 1 cm3 and will weigh less than 100g. These devices will find immediate applications in DIRCM applications.
