An instruction dataset for extracting quantum cascade laser properties from scientific text.

Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCL) are promising semiconductor lasers, compact and powerful, but of complex design. Availability of structured data of the QCL properties can support data mining activities that seek to understand the relationship between these properties, for instance between the design and performance features. The main open source of QCL data is in scientific text which in most cases is usually unstructured.
