Room temperature strain-compensated In(0.7)Ga(0.3)As/AlAs(Sb)/InP quantum cascade lasers operating at lambda similar to 3.3 mu m are reported. 20 mm wide- and 1.5 mm-long devices with as-cleaved facets deliver more than 1 W peak optical power per facet at 300 K. A detailed comparison of the device characteristics for the lasers fabricated from various parts of the 2-inch wafer has been performed.
