Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an ultra-compact dual quantum cascade laser assembly that nearly doubles the strength of a traditional laser in a in a single hermetically sealed micropackage. The device may comprise two quantum cascade lasers that meet at a combiner to create a single laser with a higher strength than traditional lasers. The current invention provides a path to an ultra-compact coherent beam combing arrangement that uses both dichroic beam combining and polarization beam combining techniques.

Claim (Index 7):
An ultra-compact dual quantum cascade laser assembly comprising:\n a. a first quantum cascade laser configured to emit a first laser beam defining a first path; b. a second quantum cascade laser configured to emit a second laser beam defining a second path; c. a dichroic mirror; d. a first collimating lens; e. a second collimating lens; f. a reflector; and g. an exit port; h. wherein the first quantum cascade laser and the second quantum cascade laser are positioned parallel to each other; i. wherein the first collimating lens is positioned adjacent to the first quantum cascade laser in line with the first path and the second collimating lens is positioned adjacent to the second quantum cascade laser in line with the second path; j. wherein the reflector is positioned adjacent to the first collimating lens and at an approximately 45 degree angle relative to the first path to cause the first laser beam to emit along a third path perpendicular to the first path; k. wherein the dichroic mirror is positioned adjacent to the reflector and adjacent to the second collimating lens so as to form an approximately a 45 degree angle with the second path and a 45 degree angle with the third path; l. wherein the exit port is located adjacent to the dichroic mirror; m. wherein the first laser and the second laser are configured to combine into a consolidated third laser and the consolidated third laser is configured to pass through the exit port.
