Low threshold 3 μm interband cascade “W” laser
We have demonstrated the operation at λ ≈ 3.0 μm of a 22-stage interband cascade laser with a “W” active region for enhanced gain. The threshold current density for a ridge structure is 170 A/cm2 at 80K, and it r...

Nearly room-temperature type-II quantum-well lasers at 3–4 μm
We report optically pumped four-constituent InAs/InGaSb/InAs/AlSb type-II quantum-well lasers emitting at 3.2–4.1 μm. Lasing was observed up to 350K under pulsed operation, with a characteristic temperature T0 up...
