NLIR products

The core of the NLIR technology is providing a high-intensity laser field (1064 nm, > 1 MW/cm² continuous wave) inside a crystal in a simple way that allows MIR light to enter and the generated near-visible light to exit without either being attenuated. The figure below illustrates a crystal with a high-power laser field (green) penetrating it, and a MIR signal coming in (red) overlapping with the high-power field. At the output, the upconverted beam (blue) can be separated from the high-power beam and measured with a near-visible light detector, for example a Silicon based CMOS array, and APD, or even a smart phone camera.
