Lead salt lasers have been widely used for high resolution IR spectroscopy since the 1970’s. Laser Components has been actively supporting the research community and has been a major supplier of these tunable diode lasers. Many researchers have recently focused on newer Quantum Cascade technology and the demand for lead salt lasers has been steadily declining.
Due to lack of demand, LASER COMPONENTS will discontinue production of lead salt lasers by the end of March 2012.
