We report on the realization of a multi-emitter quantum cascade laser system with optimized package volume. A multidimensional bonding of chip-on-substrate units allows for close packaging of several chips. The emission of several chip-on-substrate units with an emission wavelength around 3.9 µm are geometrically combined to achieve a multi-Watt emission power level while obtaining a symmetric beam profile of the emission. A dedicated integrated electronic circuit provides individual pulse control, which enables individual timing for each emitter.
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.
