Abstract
The present invention is directed to an ultra-compact dual quantum cascade laser assembly that nearly doubles the strength of a traditional laser in a in a single hermetically sealed micropackage. The device may comprise two quantum cascade lasers that meet at a combiner to create a single laser with a higher strength than traditional lasers. The current invention provides a path to an ultra-compact coherent beam combing arrangement that uses both dichroic beam combining and polarization beam combining techniques.
