Abstract: | A short wavelength (λ-3.5 μm) strain-compensated InxGa(1-x)As/InyAl(1-y)As quantum cascade laser is reported. Quasi-continuous wave operation of this device at 34°C with an output power of 11.4 mW persisted for more than 30 minutes without obvious degradation. A very low threshold current density of 1.2 KA/cm2 at this temperature was observed |
