Ultra-narrow linewidth tunable IR lasers: our CT3 and CT3+ lasers manufactured by ChiLabs have a unique combination of wide tuning range without jumps and ultra-narrow linewidth. This gives them swept source functionality, making them perfect for applications such as LiDAR and OCT testing.
Tunable Mid-IR lasers: Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are a type of semiconductor laser using epitaxially-grown quantum wells containing electrons in lasing states. Our Mid-IR QCL broadly tunable lasers are produced by Daylight Solutions and have 3-13 µm wavelength coverage, using their patented External Cavity Quantum Cascade Laser (ECqcL™) technology and Littrow configuration. Tunable Mid-IR QCLs have found use in fields as diverse as biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and nanoscale imaging and spectroscopy.

 | Chilas has developed a compact narrow linewidth widely tunable laser module based on their hybrid-integration external cavity laser (ECL) technology. This new laser is perfectly suited for a large range of sensing applications like structural health monitoring using Fibre Bragg gratings, molecular detection using ring resonators, and LiDAR remote sensing. | |
 | A unique combination of small size, tuning speeds up to >5000 cm-1/s, CW or pulsed output, high power, TEM00 beam quality, and unmatched spectral repeatability. Available centre wavelengths span the Mid-IR spectrum from 4-13 µm.
Select from 3 standard Hedgehog models: the Hedgehog (tunes up to 200 cm-1), Hedgehog-UT (up to 400 cm-1), and Hedgehog-LT (up to 30 cm-1) | |
 | Narrow-linewidth operation and MHF tuning is a high bar to reach in any laser system. Unique in the industry, the CW-MHF system provides open-loop linewidths of ≤5 MHz (over 100 ms) and MHF tuning to >30 cm-1, and often to >100 cm-1. Central wavelengths are available from 4-11 µm.
The CW-MHF can modulate wavelength via a PZT or current modulation. This exclusive combination of wide MHF tuning, narrow-linewidth operation, and modulation capability enables high-resolution spectroscopy and/or locking to a wavelength reference. | |
 | The MIRcat-QT is a fully automated system with a flexible, modular design holding up to 4 pulsed or CW/pulsed modules. It offers a tuning range approaching 1000 cm-1 (>6 µm) and wavelength coverage to >13 µm. Peak tuning speeds of >30,000 cm-1/s, output power up to 1 W, and TEM00 beam quality to enable high-efficiency fibre coupling. A new, higher-precision tuning mechanism and lower-noise drive electronics provide wavelength repeatability as high as < 0.1 cm-1 and CW RIN as low as -140 dBc/Hz. | |
 | Ultra-narrow Linewidth Lasers Chilas design and fabricate external cavity semiconductor lasers using its leading hybrid integration technology. They make ultra-narrow linewidth lasers which offer a very competitive price compared to lasers with similar specifications. The CT3 and CT3+ lasers have a wide tuning range without jumps and have an ultra-narrow linewidth, a unique combination. This […] |
