The RADIANT QX tunable laser series utilizes optical parametric oscillator technology to generate wavelengths over a broad range in the MIR. Integration of system components into one compact unit increases ruggedness, minimizes misalignment and allows the user to reposition the system. Included verification hardware enables the user to confirm that beam paths are preserved after shipment or relocation. Hermetically sealed modules protect sensitive optical materials from the environment. A built-in red laser diode is aligned to overlap with the mid-IR output for beam guidance. Wavelength tuning is motorized and computer controlled.
