High-Power Lasers
Watt-class laser output in the mid-infrared is critical to address a multitude of applications. High-power lasers are used for marking and resistor trimming in Industrial markets. Laser scalpels are now becoming commonplace in the Medical field. Multi-wavelength, multi-Watt lasers are being used in Defense applications for detecting explosives and infrared countermeasures for protecting aircraft.
Daylight Solutions has commercialized a multi-wavelength, multi-Watt laser system named “JammIR™”. The JammIR™ product line integrates Daylight Solutions' patented External Cavity Quantum Cascade Laser (ECqcL™) technology into full turnkey laser systems that can provide high power output throughout the mid-infrared (3 µm to 20 µm). Leveraging Daylight Solutions’ precision ECqcL™ capabilities, wavelengths can be set very accurately to lie within very narrow atmospheric transmission windows, maximizing throughput and energy on target. The athermal design of the ECqcL™ keeps the wavelength extremely stable over a wide range of ambient temperatures and other environmental conditions.
Daylight Solutions' ECqcL™ technology is inherently very robust. There is no optical pumping or nonlinear frequency conversion steps required to generate output in the mid-infrared. All optical power is generated by direct conversion of the electrical input to optical output, translating in to extremely high reliability and lifetime.
Daylight Solutions has designed the JammIR™ product line to be flexible in wavelength, power, and performance. Please contact us to discuss how this technology can be configured to address your requirements in the Medical, Industrial, or Defense markets.
