摘要：

We have substantially improved the performance of interband cascade lasers emitting at lambda = 4.7 and 5.6 mu m, by applying the recently-pioneered approach of heavily doping the injector regions to rebalance the electron and hole concentrations in the active quantum wells. Ridges of approximate to 10 mu m width, 4 mm length, and high-reflectivity back facets achieve maximum continuous wave operating temperatures of 60 degrees C and 48 degrees C, respectively. The threshold power density of approximate to 1 kW/cm(2) at T = 25 degrees C is over an order of magnitude lower than for state-of-the-art quantum cascade lasers emitting in this spectral range.
