LaserWarn is an open path chemical gas detection system based on our patented quantum cascade laser technology. LaserWarn detects chemical threats over a coverage area of thousands of square meters, and is available in both indoor and outdoor versions. Eye-safe laser beams and low-cost reflectors provide real-time, 24/7 early warning of Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs), Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs), and other chemicals. The system configuration is tailored to each site, and can be visually blended into existing architecture and interior design. System updates can be provided in response to emerging threats.

As a leader in high-performance mid-infrared (IR) spectrometers, Block has leveraged its expertise to develop next-generation Quantum Cascade Lasers used around the world in life science, safety, and environmental applications. Due to their low cost and ultra-compact size, our lasers are available in applications that previously had been out of reach for QCLs. Quantum Cascade Lasers are tunable lasers that can make controlled incremental shifts in wavelength output. This enables the power of mid-infrared lasers to be applied to broadband spectroscopy applications where previously there were no solutions.

LaserTune is a pulsed mid-IR Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) source designed to meet the challenging requirements of the research community. LaserTune's integrated "single box" design offers a gap-free tuning range of 5.4 to 12.8 microns in the mid-infrared region. No external power supply or control peripherals are required.
