$70,000Potential Commercial Applications:
Critical military markets include IR countermeasures, remote chemical sensing of biological and chemical agents, explosive detection, eye-safe covert illumination, and free-space communications. Commercial markets include leak detection, industrial process control, remote chemical sensing of atmospheric and terrestrial environments, medical diagnostic instrumentation, narcotics detection, security and IR spectroscopy. High-temperature single-mode QC cascade lasers developed under this program will accelerate the commercialization of mid-IR lasers to meet the both defense and commercial market needs.
