This article [5], which is a compilation of all the collected data throughout my Ph.D. thesis, has been published with the measurements of devices at different wavelengths as it was done in [3]. It shows the benefits of MEMS-based external cavity lasers and stating the achievements accomplished with these devices.
The commercially available semiconductor lasers for the mid-infrared (MIR) region often do not reach the desired performance and represent a limitation for gas sensor technology. Here we present our digital distributed feedback filter (D-DFB) laser diodes based on GaSb gain material, which have been optimized in terms of facet reflectivity, chip length, and output power. These diodes now cover the wavelength range from 1900 nm up to 4500 nm and show excellent quality regarding their spectral characteristics. Results for the performance of the D-DFB laser design and its suitability for the detection of trace gases are shown in this publication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
