Description
In response to the NAVY SBIR solicitation N182-109, the IRGLARE team proposes the development of a 4.6µm Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) source delivering >1W of continuous wave (CW) optical power with monolithically integrated 2D beam steering mechanism. The steering angle of the output beam will be electronically controllable in the range of ±10 and ±25 degrees in the two planes normal to the device emission surface and output beam will have M2 < 1.5. The platform will not have any mechanically moving components and no hybrid integration will be required. The new QCL source will be the cornerstone of the next generation ultra-compact and ruggedized DIRCM systems.
