WH2.1 - DUAL FREQUENCY COMB SPECTROSCOPY FOR PLANETARY EXPLORATIONS

Abstract

Abstract

This talk will summarize JPL’s effort on development of a compact, broadband optical frequency combs in the 3-5 μm wavelength range and its integration into a multi-heterodyne comb spectroscopy system. The prospects for selective and simultaneous interrogation of multiple absorption features will be also discussed.

WH2.2 - QUANTUM CASCADE LASERS FOR IN SITU PLANETARY SCIENCE SPECTROMETERS

Abstract

Abstract

We report on the development of low-dissipation single-mode quantum cascade lasers for mid-infrared laser absorption spectroscopy, including device design, fabrication, and packaging. We focus on packaged laser designs optimized for operation as sources in planetary science instruments, specifically for future in situ missions to measure isotope ratios.
