Abstract
The In0.53Ga0.47As–AlAs0.56Sb0.44 materials system, lattice matched to InP, is an attractive candidate for short wavelength quantum cascade lasers due to the very large conduction band discontinuity (∼1.6 eV) and compatibility with well established quantum cascade laser waveguide design and fabrication technology. In this letter we report the operation of In0.53Ga0.47As–AlAs0.56Sb0.44 quantum cascade structures emitting in the wavelength range λ∼4–5.3 μm. Clear intersubband electroluminescence peaks are observed close to the design wavelengths, with full widths at half maximum in the range of ∼30–40 meV.
