Abstract

Quantum cascade lasers for the 10 mu m spectral region were fabricated. With the goal of miniaturization, improvement of device properties, and single mode emission, we have developed lasers with one-dimensional photonic crystals by deeply etched Bragg-mirrors. For the first time nearly lattice matched GaInNAs was successfully grown on GaAs substrates at 590 degrees C, which allows an increase in the carrier confinement.
