Summary

After more than 25 years of continuous and increasing investment in research and development, the quantum cascade laser (QCL) is now revolutionizing a multitude of applications which aim to address major global challenges, from climate change to the cost of health care, to the pollution of our atmosphere and oceans, to the protection of our soldiers and first-responders. This chapter provides an insider’s perspective and historical context to the present and rapid trajectory in widespread QCL deployment across multiple applications and markets which has been building over the past two decades and will likely continue to benefit our quality of life and standard of living over the next hundred years.
