摘要
Growth of quantum cascade lasers based on strain-compensated InxGa1-xAs/InyAl1-yAs and operating at wavelength shorter than 41 mu m is reported. Pulsed mode operation of these lasers up to T=280K is reported with a high T-0. Continuous wave powers as high as 120mW are reported at cryogenic temperatures (15K). We show in this paper that high temperature operation (T=320K) of quantum cascade lasers can be extended to wavelengths down to 11.5 mu m with high performances. Peak pulsed optical power of 60mW is obtained at 300K with a high T-0=172K, in good agreement with our theoretical model.
