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 µm up to 11 µm has now been demonstrated using Daylight Solutions’ continuous-wave, mode-hop-free (CW-MHF) platforms.
Leveraging Daylight Solutions’ patented ECqcL™ technology, the CW-MHF lasers provide a spectral linewidth of ~0.001 wavenumbers (~45 MHz). This performance is combined with a tuning range as wide as 110 wavenumbers, enabling high resolution spectroscopy and multi-species molecular detection.
“The expansion of wavelength coverage from our Scientific Instrument products continues to be a high priority for our company,” says Dr. Timothy Day, CEO/CTO of Daylight Solutions. “We are delighted to be working with our customers and suppliers to deliver these advanced capabilities to the scientific research community.”
CW-MHF products from Daylight Solutions are now available at center wavelengths ranging from 4.3-6.1, 7.8, and 9.5-10.5 µm. In addition, products centered at 4.2 and 7.4 µm are in development. Additional wavelength coverage can be provided by the company’s pulsed (PLS) and CW (CW-PLS) models. Specific tuning range performance including wavelengths not mentioned here, price and lead time information can be obtained at the contact listed above.
