Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electronic technology, and in particular relates to a driving circuit of a quantum cascade laser (QCL) for generating precise and adjustable narrow pulse signals and a temperature control circuit with adjustable temperature. technical background [0002] Quantum cascade laser (QCL) is a new type of unipolar semiconductor device based on the transition of electrons between conduction band and subband in semiconductor quantum wells and the principle of phonon-assisted resonant tunneling. Different from the electron-hole recombination stimulated emission mechanism of traditional p-n junction semiconductor lasers, only electrons participate in the stimulated emission process of QCL, and the selection of lasing wavelength can be realized by the energy band cutting of the potential well and barrier in the active region. It is an ideal light source for gas monitoring and free space communication. It has wide application ...
