Problems solved by technology

Although conventional semiconductor laser measurement systems have developed relatively maturely since the 1970s, and many commercial measurement systems have appeared, they are only suitable for lasers in the visible and near-infrared bands. The adjustment of the measurement band, drive capability and pulse parameters It is difficult to meet the test requirements of mid-infrared band semiconductor lasers that came out in the 1990s.
