Quantum Cascade Laser Spectroscopy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Modern Techniques of Spectroscopy

Part of the book series: Progress in Optical Science and Photonics ((POSP,volume 13))

Abstract

Over the past few decades, the progress in applications of quantum cascade laser (QCL) spectroscopy has accelerated with breathtaking way since its discovery in 1994. The unique properties of QCL such as certain access in mid-IR spectral range, narrow emission pure spectrum, and wide tuning capabilities have enabled to develop new-generation analytical tools, which have been utilizing rigorously in several spectroscopic applications like atmospheric science, biomedical diagnostics and imaging purposes, industrial process monitoring as well as explosive detection. Moreover, the unique features of QCL have resulted in developing several miniaturized and portable spectrometers in mid-IR spectral range. This book chapter provides an overview of some unique applications of QCL spectroscopy in the field of trace gas sensing in the atmosphere, human exhaled breath analysis for non-invasive disease detection and isotope ratios measurements in a variety of environments. The chapter also provides the application of QCL in microscopy and infra-red imaging. The application of QCL in terahertz region has also been elaborated.
