Abstract

The authors report the realization of short wavelength (3.05μm⩽λ⩽3.6μm) InP lattice-matched In0.53Ga0.47As∕AlAs0.56Sb0.44 quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). The highest-performance device displays pulsed laser action at wavelengths between 3.4 and 3.6μm, for temperatures up to 300K, with a low temperature (80K) threshold current density of approximately 2.6kA∕cm2, and a characteristic temperature of T0∼130K. The shortest wavelength QCL (λ≈3.05μm) has a higher threshold current density (∼12kA∕cm2 at T=20K) and operates in pulsed mode at temperatures up to 110K.
