Market Share of Quantum Cascade Lasers Industry
The quantum cascade laser market is characterized by its varied landscape, which includes global corporations and small and medium-sized businesses. Key participants in this market encompass Hamamatsu Photonics KK, Thorlabs Inc., Adtech Optics Inc., Mirsense SAS, and Leonardo Drs Inc. These companies are engaging in strategies like forming partnerships and pursuing acquisitions to bolster their product line and secure a lasting competitive edge.
- January 2024 - Thorlabs and IRsweep entered a Licensing and Technology Transfer Agreement (TTA) to extend the Mid-IR spectral sensing platform developed into new applications. Thorlabs will take advantage of Irsweep’s patented QCL-based DFM-Comb spectroscopy instruments to create a high-performance sensing platform that combines the power of conventional broadband spectrum with the flexibility of tunable laser spectrum into a single device. This new tool will allow Thorlabs to provide a powerful solution for various applications, such as gas detection, environmental monitoring, and chemical analysis.
- October 2023 - Block Engineering released its next generation of compact quantum cascade lasers. The new QCLs claim to offer a six-fold increase in laser power, orders of magnitude better thermal and temporal stability, and minimal electronics with unique pulse design capabilities. The company's sQCL is a compact laser module that can be tuned across a 2-3 micron wavelength range within a more significant 5.4 to 12.8 micron span.
