Novel Broadband Amplifier for Mid-Infrared Semiconductor laser and applications in spectroscopy

  • 1. ROR icon California Institute of Technology

Abstract

An amplifier design for broadband Mid-IR buried-hetero (BH) structure epitaxial laser is presented, and external cavity design based on this amplifier is described. Spectroscopy results characterizing such single frequency lasers are demonstrated with whispering gallery mode CaF2 disc/ball, saturated absorption in hollow waveguide and direct chemical analysis in water.
