Fast Swept-Wavelength, Low Threshold-Current, Continuous-Wave External Cavity Quantum Cascade Laser

Abstract We present a low threshold-current and fast wavelength-tuning external cavity quantum cascade laser (EC-QCL) using a scanning galvanometer in the Littman-Metcalf cavity geometry. The EC-QCL could repeatedly swept at 100 Hz over its full tuning range of about 290 nm (2105 cm−1 to 2240 cm−1),...
