Abstract

A new midinfrared (λ∼4.5 μm) intersubband quantum cascade laser based on a vertical transition is reported. A superlattice graded gap region was incorporated in the design to provide strong electron confinement in the upper state using a Bragg reflector. Pulsed operation at 100 K is reported with a threshold current density of Jth=3 kA/cm2 and a measured slope efficiency of 300 mW/A.
