News Releases

  • August 2, 2010 NRL funds QC laser development at Daylight
    The US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has awarded laser system builder Daylight Defense a $5.7 million contract to develop quantum cascade laser (QCL) technology for military applications.
  • July 29, 2010 Daylight Solutions Breaks Single-Chip Tuning Record
    Daylight Solutions has pushed the broad tuning envelope again. We have built a pulsed, single-chip laser that tuned over 525 cm-1. This ECqcL™ (External Cavity quantum cascade Laser) tunes so broadly that we had to modify our tuning mechanics in our Über Tuner broad tuning laser platform to cover the entire range in a single scan. Below is the tuning curve for the performance of this laser. The tuning range covers 3.78 - 4.71 µm (2,122 - 2,647 cm-1).
  • July 29, 2010 Daylight Solutions demonstrates efficacy of 3.x µm tunability.
    Much work has been performed in the development and productization of mid-infrared laser sources in the race to surpass the performance of the glowbar, fixed-wavelength CO and CO2 lasers, and tunable lead-salt lasers. The evolving technology leader for accessing 4-12 µm radia-tion is the Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL).
  • July 6, 2010 Congratulations to Federico Capasso on winning the Berthold Leibinger Future Prize!
    Cambridge, Mass., July 9, 2010 – Federico Capasso, Robert L. Wallace Professor of Applied Physics and Vinton Hayes Senior Research Fellow in Electrical Engineering at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), has been awarded the 2010 Berthold Leibinger Zukunftspreis (the future prize), an international award for excellent research on the application or generation of laser light.
  • June 23, 2010 Daylight Solutions' growth bucking economic trends - hiring more people and expanding its headquarters
    Poway, CA (June 23, 2010) – Daylight Solutions, Inc., the leading manufacturer of advanced molecular detection, imaging solutions and broadly tunable lasers in the Mid IR, today announced that it is moving its headquarters from Poway to San Diego during the last week of June.
  • June 21, 2010 Daylight Solutions provides light source for Time Resolved Infrared measurements of transient species. Cover article for the Journal of Applied...
    Daylight Solutions is proud to appear on the cover of the June 2010 issue of Applied Spectroscopy supporting the research of Dr. David Grills et al. at Brookhaven National Labs in Upton, NY. Dr. Grills’ team has combined Pulse Radiolysis and Time Resolved Infrared spectroscopy (TRIR) to detect and probe transient species.
  • April 5, 2010 Daylight Solutions Introduces the Über Tuner™ Series of Broadly-Tunable External Cavity Quantum Cascade Lasers (ECqcL™)
    Daylight Solutions, Inc. (Poway, CA), a leading manufacturer of advanced molecular detection and illumination solutions as well as spectroscopic laser sources, has released a new line of broadly tunable pulsed lasers. The Über Tuner™ series of ECqcL™ provide up to 250 cm-1 or 1.6 µm of continuous tuning in a single laser head. The complete series offers gapless coverage from 6.2 to 12.2 µm.
  • April 1, 2010 SPECTROSCOPY: External-cavity QCLs broaden capabilities for molecular detection
    External-cavity, mid-infrared quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) enable molecular "fingerprint" analysis with high sensitivity and selectivity for spectroscopy applications including explosives detection, breath alcohol detection, glucose monitoring, and greenhouse gas analysis.
  • January 30, 2010 Startups to Watch in 2010 - Daylight Solutions
    Poway, Calif.-based Daylight Solutions has developed a broadly tunable or fixed-wavelength mid-infrared laser source combining quantum cascade gain media with its external cavity quantum cascade laser technology. Using this source, the company manufactures a range of components, subsystems, and systems for sensors and high-power illuminators.
  • January 22, 2010 Daylight Solutions Extends Coverage of Mode Hop-Free, Single Mode, Broadly-Tunable External Cavity Quantum Cascade Laser (ECqcL™) Systems
    Poway, CA (January 22, 2010) Daylight Solutions, Inc., a leading manufacturer of advanced molecular detection, illumination solutions, and spectroscopic sources, has extended the range of high resolution external cavity quantum cascade laser (ECqcL™) systems to encompass nearly the entire mid-infrared. Wavelength coverage from 4 microns up to 11 microns has now been demonstrated using Daylight Solutions’ continuous-wave, mode-hop-free (CW-MHF) platforms.
