Description

High power and high efficiency long wavelength infrared quantum cascade lasers are needed for Navy applications. The proposed effort identifies key development areas that will lead to substantial performance improvements over the state-of-the-art. In parallel, a new laser architecture is proposed that will enable low cost manufacturing with minimal impact on device performance.  Built into this architecture is the capability to dramatically reduce beam divergence, which simplifies external optics and alignment procedures
