The miniaturized external cavity quantum cascade laser (µEC-QCL) combines a QCL chip with a broad gain spectrum and a resonantly driven MOEMS diffraction grating allowing for rapid broadband spectral tuning at kHz scan rates.
The µEC-QCL is well-suited as spectroscopic light source for real-time sensing such as analysis of solids or liquids.
