摘要
We demonstrate a broad gain, continuous-wave(CW) operation InP-based quantum cascade laser(QCL) emitting at 11.8 μm with a modified dual-upper-state(DAU) and diagonal transition active region design. A 3 mm cavity length,16.5 μm average ridge wide QCL with high-reflection(HR) coatings demonstrates a maximum peak power of 1.07 W at 283 K and CW output power of 60 m W at 293 K. The device also shows a broad and dual-frequency lasing spectrum in pulsed mode and a maximum average power of 258.6 mW at 283 K. Moreover, the full width at half maximum(FWHM)of the electroluminescent spectrum measured at subthreshold current is 2.37 μm, which indicates a broad gain spectrum of the materials. The tuning range of 1.38 μm is obtained by a grating-coupled external cavity(EC) Littrow configuration,which is beneficial for gas detection.
