Research abstract
TransWave Photonics proposes a long-wave infrared (LWIR) InP-based waveguide platform capable to deliver >10 W continuous wave power without causing any mirror damage. Our waveguides are built on low loss material systems that allow for on-chip long distance light propagation, high-level photonic integration, and monolithic integration of long-wavelength quantum cascade laser sources. Successful demonstration of our proposed work in Phase I will lead to high power damage free waveguide devices as well as high power LWIR source system generating more than 10 W power at room temperature.
