摘要
We report on the realization of distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers in the GaAs/AlGaAs material system. A metallized surface relief grating is used for feedback. Both single mode and double mode emission is observed at lambda approximate to 10 mu m. The coupling coefficient is measured from the mode spacing for double mode emission to be 24 cm(-1). The emission wave number can be tuned with the temperature at a rate of d nu/dT approximate to 0.048 cm(-1)/K. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)03103-X].
