LaserTune™: Widely Tunable Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Lasers

lasertuneBlock's LaserTune mid-IR laser systems are designed for flexible use in a wide variety of applications. Our pulsed quantum cascade lasers feature compact packages that are free of bulky external cooling associated with CW lasers.

The single-tuner LaserTune-S offers a user-selectable laser module covering 2-3 microns within a range of 5.4-12.8 µm. Compared with previous versions, this next-generation design offers a 6x power increase, orders of magnitude tighter thermal and temporal stability, and powerful electronics with unique pulse design capabilities. The LaserTune-S can be packaged for OEM integration or laboratory use.

The broader-range LaserTune features up to 4 quantum cascade laser modules with the ability to cover an entire gap-free 5.4-12.8 µm mid-infrared range. The LaserTune can be configured with 1, 2, or 3 laser modules for customers who don't need the full coverage provided by all 4 modules.
