DRS Daylight Solutions Inc. products

MIRcat-QT™ Mid-IR Laser: Tune 1000 cm-1 at 1000s cm-1/s. The MIRcat-QT adds high-speed tuning, higher spectral repeatability, improved thermal management, and longer-wavelength options to the first generation of the MIRcat laser, a field-proven multi-quantum cascade laser system. The MIRcat-QT is truly a one-box, fully automated system with a flexible, modular design that allows factory configuration of up to four pulsed or continuous wave/pulsed modules, plus the option to add or upgrade modules later.

Hedgehog Mid-IR Laser: Tune 100s of cm-1 at 1000 cm-1/s. Cute name. Fearsome performance. Ideal for laboratory or OEM use, the Hedgehog Mid-IR Laser is DRS Daylight’s next-generation tunable laser head. Built on our proven External Cavity Quantum Cascade Laser™ technology, the Hedgehog laser is a unique combination of small size, tuning speeds to > 5000 cm-1/s, CW or pulsed output, high power, TEM00 beam quality, and unmatched spectral repeatability.

CW-MHF Mid-IR Laser: Tune > 30 cm-1 Without Mode Hops. The CW–MHF Mid-IR Laser is the ultimate tool for high-resolution, mid-IR spectroscopy. If you need high spectral resolution, phase-continuous tuning to avoid jumping over spectral lines, or both, the DRS Daylight CW-Mode-Hop-Free laser will meet your needs. Narrow-linewidth operation and MHF tuning is a high bar to reach in any laser system. Unique in the industry, the CW–MHF system provides open-loop linewidths of ≤ 5 MHz (over 100 ms) and MHF tuning to > 30 cm-1, and often to > 100 cm-1*.

Aries-100 Mid-IR Laser: High Power, Fixed Wavelength, Broadband Output. DRS Daylight’s years of experience and field-proven performance in high-power mid-IR lasers come together in the Aries-100 family of products. These fixed-wavelength, high-power mid-IR CW/pulsed lasers feature a sealed, maintenance-free design, broadband output, a choice of center wavelength, and average power options up to 2 W. Aries-100 provides air-cooled CW or pulsed operation* a nd current (amplitude) modulation. They are CDRH compliant and carry CE marking. All Aries-100 systems come with a SideKick laser controller, an umbilical cable, and a GUI and SDK to give you everything you need for productivity out of the box.

Spero Chemical Imaging Microscope: Unrivaled Mid-IR Spectroscopy. In a class of their own, the Spero® and the Spero-QT microscopes are the world’s first and only fully integrated, wide-field spectroscopic microscopy and imaging platforms based on our broadly tunable mid-infrared quantum cascade laser technology.

The SideKick™ Laser Controller represents a significant step forward in the design, features, and performance of quantum cascade laser controllers. Its low-noise design means no cooling fans, and when paired with a suitable DRS Daylight Solutions laser head, its drive electronics enable industry-leadingCWRIN(low optical noise).

The Amplified MCT Detector is a natural fit with DRS Daylight’s pulsed mid-IRlasers and gives you 245° K performance and sub-3 ns rise time without external cooling. It packs a fully integrated receiver with embedded IR detector, low-noise amplifier, and temperature controller into one compact package.

DRS Daylight Solutions’ high-power, multi-color laser systems provide best-in-class performance for military applications. Based on our ground-breaking quantum cascade laser technology, these high-power laser systems represent the best choice in aircraft survivability equipment, covering theVIS,NIR,SWIR,MWIR, andLWIRbands.

The INCA Multispectral Proximity Beacon provides the rapidly identifiable combat ID crucial to tactical range extremes, such as rescue operations and situational awareness. Its multispectral emission covers theVIS,NIR,SWIR,MWIR, andLWIRbands. When emitting in the thermal bands (i.e.,MWIRandLWIR), the INCA proximity beacon’s user-selected settings mean that it emits no visible signature and cannot be detected using night-vision imagers. The INCA beacon’s strobe and blink rates also can be reprogrammed as your requirements change. Factory modifications can let you impart digital data codes directly on to the optical channels.

The ChemDetect Analyzer is a compact, intelligent spectrometer that uses the power of quantum cascade lasers to analyze and identify chemicals. It combines the latest high-speed, broadly tunableQCLtechnology with advanced, uncooled detection capability. An embedded computer is programmed with chemical identification algorithms for unmatched specificity and speed.
