LASER COMPONENTS will discontinue production of cryogenically cooled MIR laser diodes. For our long-time customers in academic circles we will extend this offer to place one last order until next March. The first PbSe lasers were produced in the late ‘60s; they reached their technological heyday in the ‘80s and early ‘90s.
Both the fundamental scientific and high-resolution gas measurement technology communities originated via tunable diode laser spectroscopy (TDLS).

We have accompanied lead salt laser technology for almost 20 years and made important contributions: increased reliability, demonstration of pulsed operation at room temperature, and the construction of DFB lasers based on lead salt technology.

The necessity of cryogenic cooling in single-mode operation has always hindered wide industrial use. Consequently, TDLS did not achieve its commercial breakthrough until used in the NIR range.
