The National Research Council Canada has a requirement for the supply of a widely tunable laser system with high power and high resolution that covers the NIR wavelength range but also extends to the MIR wavelength range. The tunable MIR laser should provide continuous-wave operation over a broad tuning range covering 1.45 to 4.0 um. In order to efficiently characterize various devices in the MIR range, the wavelength scanning needs to be fully automated over the full spectral range without the need to change any optics or module.
