Abstract
Following the goals of single-chip integrated dual comb spectrometers, we report on recent results on mid-infrared frequency combs. We demonstrate frequency comb operation with a bi-functional quantum cascade material, which allows the integration of lasers and detectors on one chip. With this device, we hold the power and efficiency record of QCL frequency combs. In the second part, we will present first evidence of frequency comb generation using mode-locked interband cascade lasers. With the demonstration of picosecond pulse generation in the mid-infrared, we open a new path towards battery driven sensitive high-resolution spectrometers miniaturized to chip-scale dimensions.
