12 Custom QCL Development Five QCL designs are being developed by Alpes Lasers Based on proven LM InGaAs/AlInAs designs Key features: Double stacks to increase spectral width Range of device lengths and ridge widths to increase power and laser mode number Epi down mounting to increase power via colder junction temperature HR/AR coatings on back/front facets to increase power Electroluminescence spectra demonstrates good coverage of cm -1 spectral range Custom QCL Design Details Electroluminescence Spectra -11
13 Speckle Reduction NEr achieved through speckle reduction: Spatial diversity reduces speckle through averaging of speckle cells contained in IFOV Temporal diversity reduces speckle through time averaging of independent speckle patterns Additional diversity required: Wavelength and angular diversities are incompatible with CONOP Diversity balance provided by laser modes Total contrast: C total = C M/K C modes Predicted Contrast vs. QCL Spot Size at 30 m -12

15 Stock QCL Functional Testing: Objective: Baseline stock QCLs against KPPs for spectral range, SPD, and speckle Spectral range and SPD takeaways: Spectral Range and SPD Continuous broadband spectra achieved by tuning drive conditions 6 mm QCL produces > 10 mw/cm -1 (SPD KPP) at 20C 2x increase was measured from 3 to 6 mm cavity length validates power scaling Single stack achieves ~ 60 cm -1 spectral width custom double stack QCL projected to achieve > 120 cm PSD vs. Optical Frequency at 20C Operating Temperature and 50% DC for 3 (left) and 6 mm (right)
16 Objective: Quantify speckle contrast using microbolometer camera for: Three spatial diversities: 6, 10, and 200 Two spectral widths: < 1 cm -1 and > 60 cm -1 High M achieved via spinning diffuser Key findings: Stock QCL Functional Testing: Speckle Reduction: Spatial Diversity Contrast scales with K -0.5 as expected Wavelength diversity does not impact speckle Pulsed operation results in significantly lower (better) contrast than predicted by C M/K -15 Measured Contrast vs. Spectral Width Spot cross sections for K = 6 (top) and 200 (bottom)
17 Stock QCL Functional Testing: Speckle Reduction: Temporal Diversity Objective: Determine requisite motion of diffuser to generate independent speckle patterns and sufficiently high M Speckle contrast measured as a function of diffuser relative motion Contrast calculated for cumulative frame averages Diffuser motion quantified directly from IR image Results show speckle decorrelates on the scale of surface (Infragold) correlation length, not receiver IFOV results support flying spot approach to achieve high M Frame Averaged QCL Spot Frame Averaged Speckle Contrast vs. Target Correlation Areas and vs. IFOVs -16

19 Conclusions A QCL-based standoff surface contaminant detector with application to solid, liquid, and gases for range of targets is being developed Sensor will resolve 0.1% reflectivity modulation enabling 0.1 g/cm 2 LOD at 30 m standoff LOD achieved through speckle reduction employing spatial, temporal, and laser mode diversities. Functional testing has demonstrated: Sufficiently spectrally bright QCLs are available, however, custom development will produce devices to cover cm -1 with no gaps. Requisite device spectral width and SPD appear achievable with double stack design based on performance of single stack stock QCLs. Laser mode diversity significantly reduces speckle noise below spatial and temporal diversity limit. Requisite temporal diversity is achieved by the flying spot approach. -18
