Description
We envision a coherently coupled QCL array architecture featuring 2nd order DFB gratings to vertically couple out light with excellent beam quality and high output power. This approach does not require cleaving of the devices or facet coatings and is therefore inherently more robust and manufacturable than facet emitters. Additionally, we will implement electronically-controlled tuning elements to allow for fast broadband tuning of the emission wavelength.
