The paper presents a prototype of a driving system designed to laboratory investigations of quantum cascade lasers. Significant requirements of these lasers operation, as well as a construction of the main components of the system were analyzed. During the performed investigations, a tuning range of both current pulses and temperature control operation were determined. Additionally the method of monitoring both current and voltage of the lasers was also described. As a summary, results of laboratory studies of the system with the use of commercial quantum cascade lasers were presented.
