Abstract
A crucial element for the next generation of portable gas sensors for high-volume applications, especially involving chemical sensing of important greenhouse and pollutant gases, is the development of a low-cost, low-power consuming, single-frequency laser operating in the mid-infrared spectral range. In this regard, we propose the implementation of a Quantum Cascade Surface Emitting Laser (QCSEL). Our design involves a linear microcavity with high reflectivity coated end-mirrors and a buried semiconductor diffraction grating to extract the light from the surface.
