Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are semiconductor lasers that offer peak emission in the mid-IR range (4 um to 10 um). They are used as a popular light source for mid-IR applications such as molecular gas analysis. It is much more miniaturized than the normal electron-hole pair lasers. It is faster and requires less power than earlier Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and mass spectroscopy systems. QC lasers rely only on one type of carrier, they are the electrons. So they are also called the unipolar lasers.
QCLs offer enormous potential in biomedical, sensing, R&D, military, and homeland security areas. These high-power lasers with low failure rate, robust fabrication, and long-life time boost the market growth. Its usage in LIDAR, industrial process control, automotive cruise control, and collision avoidance radar makes way for market growth opportunities. However, changing customer needs and costs associated with broadening the scope of QCL-based systems restrains the market growth.
