Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Laservorrichtung und Anwendungen mit einem Quantenkaskadenlaser (7) und einem Pulserzeuger zum gepulsten Betreiben des Quantenkaskadenlasers, bei dem durch den Pulserzeuger der Quantenkaskadenlaser (7) mit Pulspaketen, die mit Frequenzen im 1 Hz bis 100 kHz-Bereich geschaltet werden, betreibbar ist und mit dem Quantenkaskadenlaser (7) eine Wärmeabführeinrichtung (8) verbunden ist. Als Quantenkaskadenlaser können kostengünstige Fabry-Perot-Laser verwendet werden. Durch ein spezielles Ansteuerverfahren kann eine teilkohärente, LED-artige E-mission bewirkt werden.
