Abstract
The spectroscopic application of a new broadband microelectromechanical-system-tunable vertical cavity surface-emitting laser with single-mode coverage of in a single, continuous sweep is described. The operation of the device is illustrated with high-resolution spectra of and over and , respectively, with the band shown for high-pressure scans between 1 and (0.1–0.3 MPa). The achieved tuning range opens up new opportunities for tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy. The spectra were compared with HITRAN-derived model calculations. The benefits of a sensor based on this laser are greater speed, laser power, and tuning range.
