Abstract

In this proposal we propose a new method in fabricating a chalcogenide amplifier that amplifies directly in the MWIR with high slope-efficiency, diffraction limited beam quality and provide a pathway to high output powers. This next generation high performing amplifier will specifically be developed for amplifications of QCL’s to suit the needs of naval infrared applications. During Phase I we will design, demonstrate and characterize amplifiers, provide the amplification power-scaling results and show path to meeting Phase II goals.
