Capasso has expanded upon the Quantum Cascade Laser that debuted in 1994 by combining an array of multiple lasers emitting light of varying wavelengths in a tiny, more portable chip...
Take the dime in your wallet. Now imagine a chip no larger than a fraction of that coin that can detect the faintest traces of thousands of different chemicals, using over 32 different infrared light-emitting lasers...
...Using the array, you can choose to fire a laser wavelength that corresponds to a molecule’s absorption, and when you see how much light has been absorbed, you can see how much of that molecule is present,” said Benjamin G. Lee, Capasso’s research assistant...
