Description
The functionality of widely tunable sampled grating mid-infrared lasers will be enhanced through the development of surface emission. This technology provides fast, non-mechanical tuning in the mid-infrared spectral range. The proposed research will investigate the feasibility of integrating a 45 degree facet with the sampled grating distributed feedback quantum cascade laser in order to simultaneously achieve high power, surface emission, and wide tunability. A novel integrated optics approach is also proposed for coherent power scaling of this technology.
