## Description

The University of Sheffield has awarded a tender on behalf of the Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering for a Tunable external cavity quantum cascade laser system\. The project was for a tuneable quantum cascade laser emitting in the mid-IR with the ability to tune over a substantial \(many 100’s of cm–1\) region of the mid-IR\. Of particular interest is the ability to cover a substantial part the “fingerprint” region of the mid-IR i\.e\. from 6-12 µm\. EC-QCL Laser System: Our primary requirement for this system is a widely tuneable mid-IR laser system for the characterization of biological materials\. This tender has now been awarded and no further expressions of interest will be accepted\.
