Advancements in several new laser technologies are opening new opportunities in the part of the spectrum between telecom lasers and the nascent terahertz range, called the mid-IR. This range is currently dominated by applications in materials processing and medical procedures, but growing uses for defense, life sciences, environmental monitoring and sensing applications will add sizeable and exciting opportunities in the next few years.
This report, the only one to feature mid-IR lasers, covers many mid-IR segments, including:
