Abstract
The growth of Interband Cascade Laser material to cover the wavelength range from 3-4 mu m is presented along with the fabrication and characterization of Broad Area (BA) and Ridge Waveguide (RWG) devices based on this material. Pulsed operation slightly below room temperature is observed for both device types, and a strong reduction of threshold currents can be observed in the RWG lasers. Variation of the active Quantum Well width in the epitaxial structures enables laser emission in the 3-4 mu m wavelength region.
