Abstract
A broadband midinfrared laser operating up to 340K in pulsed mode is presented. It was realized by incorporating seven different quantum cascade active regions with 0.2μm increments to emit at different wavelengths. Despite the relatively large wavelength increments, a continuous lasing spectrum is obtained from 7.7to8.4μm, with significant improvements in threshold current and temperature performance compared with previously reported broadband quantum cascade lasers. A full temperature dependent characterization was performed, and the threshold current density at 300K was 6.5kA∕cm2, with peak output power of over 100mW. A characteristic temperature of T0=192K was obtained.
