MirSense products

The core technology underlying mirSense activity is the Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL). The QCL is a compact, lightweight and robust solid state laser source emitting in the mid-infrared. It is the result of state of the art scientific research on semiconductor quantum devices and years of academic and industrial developments since its invention, 25 years ago.

The photoacoustic effect has been discovered in 1880 by Alexander Graham Bell. This effect designates the generation of sound waves by a solid, liquid or gas illuminated by an electromagnetic wave modulated at an acoustic frequency.
