摘要：

We report continuous-wave (CW) operation of quantum-cascade lasers (lambda = 6 mum) up to a temperature of 313 K (40 degreesC). The maximum CW optical output powers range from 212 mW at 288 K to 22 mW at 313 K and are achieved with threshold current densities of 2.21 and 3.11 kA/cm(2), respectively, for a high-reflectivity-coated 12-mum-wide and 2-mm-long laser. At room temperature (298 K), the power output is 145 mW at 0.87 A, corresponding to a power conversion efficiency of 1.68%. The maximum CW operating temperature of double-channel ridge waveguide lasers mounted epilayer-up on copper heatsinks is analyzed in terms of the ridge width, which is varied between 12 and 40 mum. A clear trend of improved performance is observed as the ridge narrows.
