Abstract

Quantum cascade lasers emitting below 3μm are demonstrated. The lasers based on the InAs∕AlSb material system emit at 2.95–2.97μm in pulsed mode with threshold current densities near 3kA∕cm2 at 84K and operate up to room temperature. No degradation has been observed in laser performances compared with InAs∕AlSb quantum cascade lasers emitting at 3.14–3.35μm. The obtained results show no influence of the L valley in InAs on operation of these short wavelength quantum cascade lasers.
