摘要：
A type-II "W" diode laser with five quantum well periods and emitting at lambda approximate to 3.5 mu m operated in cw mode to T=218 K. A second device produced more than 500 mW of cw power at 80 K. The threshold current density at T=78 K was 31 A/cm(2), and pulsed operation was observed to 317 K. Improvements over previous single-stage devices for this wavelength range may be attributed in part to high growth quality and also to the incorporation of transition regions that smooth discontinuities in the conduction-band profile.
