Researchers Set Record for Terahertz Quantum Cascade Laser Continuous Power

Researchers have nearly doubled the continuous output power of a type of laser, called a terahertz quantum cascade laser, with potential applications in medical imaging, airport security and more. Increasing the continuous output power of these lasers is an important step toward increasing the range of practical applications. The researchers report their results in the

Navy Pairs Thermal Imaging with Spectroscopy for Standoff Chemical Detection

Detecting trace quantities of explosives, chemical or biological agents on a variety of surfaces is challenging—especially from a distance without physically collecting a sample. Spectroscopic techniques have been used, but even though they can be highly selective, they have poor sensitivity. Researchers are increasingly using thermal infrared imaging techniques because they can be safely used
