Abstract:
Disclosed is an optically pumped vertical cavity laser structure operating in the mid-infrared region, which has demonstrated room-temperature continuous wave operation. This structure uses a periodic gain active region with type I quantum wells comprised of InGaAsSb, and barrier/cladding regions which provide strong hole confinement and substantial pump absorption. A preferred embodiment includes at least one wafer bonded GaAs-based mirror. Several preferred embodiments also include means for wavelength tuning of mid-IR VCLs as disclosed, including a MEMS-tuning element. This document also includes systems for optical spectroscopy using the VCL as disclosed, including systems for detection concentrations of industrial and environmentally important gases.

Claim (Index 29):
A system for optical spectroscopy configured to probe an optical property of a sample, the system comprising a tunable laser emitting a tunable emission having a first wavelength dependence over a wavelength tuning range, said tunable emission interacting with said sample to create a transformed wavelength dependence, an optical detector for detecting said transformed wavelength dependence, and a means for converting said transformed wavelength dependence to a property of said sample, wherein said tunable laser is the VCL of  claim 18 .
