Recent Results in Lead-Salt Laser Development at the IPM

  • Conference paper
Monitoring of Gaseous Pollutants by Tunable Diode Lasers

Summary

Double Heterostructure lasers are made by Molecular Beam Epitaxy of Pb1−x Eux Se and Pb1−x Snx Se. The highest operation temperatures for diode lasers in the mid infrared were reached with these structures. The operation temperatures, mode quality, and reliability are discussed.
