Mid-infrared measurements have recently become a hot topic in the photonics industry and for good reason: so much valuable information lies within interactions with longer wavelengths. Capability, cost, and complexity make selecting the proper components a tough balancing act -  this presentation aims to give some insight into navigating this space.  New innovations have brought attractive options to the table for detectors and lights sources alike, opening up new possibilities for applications. 

There will be discussion on the advantages of mid-infrared techniques, popular applications, and a product overview on detectors, semiconductor lasers, and other light sources. 

Topics of presentation:

  • Merits of MIR and applications
  • Product overview, detectors and light sources
  • New developments
