Alpes Lasers (Switzerland) is the number one player in the quantum cascade lasers market and has been focusing on developing QCL light sources. The company has been taken continuous efforts in advancing its product portfolio and offers all types of QCLs—Fabry–Perot, distributed feedback, and external tunable cavities— operating in both continuous wave and pulsed mode. In February 2017, the company was selected for a supply of QCLs to the US Air Force Research Laboratory under Standoff Illuminator for Measuring Absorbance and Reflectance Infrared Light Signatures (SILMARILS) program by US Air Force Research Laboratory, Ohio.

Another key player in the QCL market is mirSense (France), which focuses on developing its products in industrial gas sensing and chemical detection, environment monitoring, and direct infrared countermeasures (DIRCM). In this way, the company is in involved in providing application-specific products. It has been increasing its R&D spending in the recent past and is involved in mixed gas sensing applications. In June 2016, mirSense announced the launch of uniMir for tracking gases such as methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), formaldehyde (H2CO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
