MWIR/LWIR Access
Access QCL wavelengths beyond standard catalog optionsmirSense helps cover QCL wavelength regions that may be difficult to source through standard laser catalogs, especially when the application depends on a specific mid-IR or long-wave IR absorption feature. |
OEM-Ready Options
From lab evaluation to embedded systemsmirSense QCLs are available in practical configurations for different stages of development, including HHL-packaged lasers, OEM modules, and turnkey platforms. RPMC can help match the package and electronics approach to the customer’s wavelength, power, modulation, cooling, and integration requirements. |
Start Here: PowerMir vs. UniMir
Use this section to help narrow which mirSense QCL family may be the better starting point before reviewing the product options below.
Start here for high-power pulsed or QCW QCL output
PowerMir is the better starting point when the application requires high-power MWIR/LWIR QCL output, QCW operation, compact packaging, and a practical path toward OEM or system integration.
| Typical fit: Defense/security, IR testing, detector validation, countermeasure-related R&D, material characterization, and OEM system integration |
| Common requirements: 4-9 µm configurations, high output power, QCW operation, HHL/OEM/turnkey options, ITAR-free PowerMir technology |
Start here for 10-19 µm DFB QCL spectroscopy
UniMir is the better starting point when the application depends on a specific molecule or absorption feature in the LWIR region and requires narrow-linewidth DFB QCL emission.
| Typical fit: Gas sensing, molecular spectroscopy, environmental monitoring, industrial process sensing, and research spectroscopy |
| Common requirements: 10-19 µm operation, DFB single-mode output, narrow linewidth, molecule-specific detection, HHL package options |
Final configuration depends on the details.
Wavelength, target molecule, output power, operating mode, linewidth, package, driver, cooling, integration environment, and export/compliance requirements can all affect the right starting point. RPMC can help confirm whether PowerMir, UniMir, or a custom path is the best fit.
Where mirSense QCLs Fit Best
mirSense QCLs are best evaluated by matching the application to the required wavelength region, power level, linewidth, operating mode & package format.
Defense & SecurityStart with PowerMir when the application requires high-power MWIR/LWIR QCL output, QCW operation, compact/OEM-ready packaging, and ITAR-free technology. Final export and program-specific requirements should be confirmed with RPMC and mirSense. |
Gas Sensing & Molecular SpectroscopyStart with UniMir when the target molecule or absorption feature falls in the 10-19 µm LWIR region and the system requires DFB narrow-linewidth emission for selective detection. |
Industrial & Environmental MonitoringmirSense QCLs can support process monitoring, emissions monitoring, VOC/BTEX-related sensing, toxic gas detection, and other applications where wavelength selection and system integration are critical. |
Research & Advanced SpectroscopyFor specialized MWIR/LWIR spectroscopy work, mirSense provides QCL options for difficult wavelengths, molecule-specific detection, and custom configuration paths that may not be available through standard catalog sources. |
What Sets mirSense Apart
mirSense develops quantum cascade laser technology for MWIR and LWIR applications, including high-power Fabry-Perot PowerMir sources and DFB UniMir sources for spectroscopy. PowerMir is positioned for high-power pulsed/QCW operation in the 4-9 µm range and is available in chip, HHL, OEM module, and turnkey configurations. UniMir is designed for wavelength-stabilized DFB operation in the 10-19 µm region, where target molecules may have useful absorption features for gas sensing and spectroscopy.
mirSense’s technology includes InP-based and InAs-based QCL development. Because material-platform, uniqueness, export, wavelength, power, and application claims can be technically sensitive, final wording should be reviewed by RPMC and mirSense before publishing.
