Abstract

This talk will discuss the recent improvements and future developments of Mirsense's quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) for Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM). Specifically, the talk will focus on the increase in power and beam quality of QCLs, enabling them to be used for DIRCM applications. The advantages of QCLs compared to other lasers for DIRCM will be discussed, as well as the challenges and potential solutions. The talk will also provide an overview of the current state of the technology and discuss future roadmaps for further improvements. Lastly, the potential of QCLs in other applications where high power and beam quality are required will be discussed.
