Quantum Cascade Lasers

Abstract

The overall goal of DARPA PWASSP is the development of innovative Quantum Cascade (QC) lasers that are spectrally, spatially and temporal agile, and to deliver them for applications in sensing and signal processing. Significant advances in several fields closely aligned with these goals have been made, namely in the development of faster, more spectrally agile, and generally novel QC lasers, as outlined in the following in more detail.
