Description
Frequency combs are ideal candidates to realize miniaturized spectrometers without moving parts. We present an overview of our current research on mid-infrared frequency comb generation using interband and quantum cascade lasers (ICLs and QCLs). Our work ranges from fundamental laser physics to the realization of monolithic devices. We will highlight similarities and differences between these two types of lasers and show how both frequency modulated and pulsed frequency combs can be realized. In the last part, we will discuss why the ICL comb platform is a perfect candidate for the realization of miniaturized and battery driven mid-infrared spectrometers.
