Princeton Docket # 10-2622
Currently
available commercial single-mode QC lasers either employ distributed feedback or
external cavity technique to achieve single-mode emission. Due to the complexity and yield issue of
these techniques, the costs and thus the sale prices for single-mode QC lasers
are very high, which is a crucial barrier to the...

Princeton Docket # 10-2616
Broadly
tunable QC lasers are ideal candidates for multi-analyte mid-infrared
spectroscopy application. However,
the maximum tuning range is usually limited by the inherently narrow gain
spectrum of intersubband transitions.
Princeton researchers have developed a ¿continuum-to-bound¿ QC laser,
with two lower injector...

Princeton Docket # 09-2561
The transport of electrons from
the injector ground level to the upper laser level in the active region of a QC
laser significantly influences the laser performance. The stronger the coupling between these
two levels, the faster electrons can be transferred into the active region, the
better is the performance of the...

Princeton Docket # 08-2414
Typical optical gas sensors utilize multipass
cells to probe molecular species by absorption spectroscopy. Existing multipass cells are usually
costly, large, and lack robustness, which limits their use for portable systems.
Princeton researchers have designed
and fabricated a highly compact and robust optical cavity,...
