Application of step-scan FTIR to the research of quantum cascade lasers

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has moreadvantages over many other techniques for high resolu-tion studies in the mid-infrared and far-infrared spectralranges. In addition to the high frequency resolution, itexhibits a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), high through-put, and broad band range. There are two ways forthe spectrometer to implement the scan process, i.e.,the rapid-scan (continuous-scan) mode and the step-scan mode. Although many relatively simple rapid-scanFTIRs h…

High Temperature Operation of 5.5μm Strain-Compensated Quantum Cascaded Lasers

We develop 5.5-μm InxGa1-xAs/InyAl1-yAs strain-compensated quantum cascade lasers with lnP and InGaAs cladding layers by using solid-source molecular-beam epitaxy. Pulse operation has been achieved up to 323K （50℃） for uncoated 20-μm-wide and 2-mm-long devices. These devices display an output power of 36mW with a duty cycle of 1% at room temperature. In continuous wave operation a record peak optical power of 10mW per facet has been measured at 83K.
