Low-Threshold High-Temperature Operation of ～7.4μm Quantum Cascade Lasers

We report low-threshold high-temperature operation of 7.4#m strain-compensated InGaAs/lnAIAs quantum cascade lasers （QCLs）. For an uncoated 22-μm-wide and 2-mm-long laser, the low-threshold current densities, i.e. 0.33kA/cm^2 at 81 K in pulsed mode and 0.64kA/cm^2 at 84K in cw mode, are realized. High-temperature operation of uncoated devices, with a high value of 223K, is achieved in cw mode.     

High-Duty-Cycle Operation of GaAs/AlGaAs Quantum Cascade Laser above Liquid Nitrogen Temperature

We present a detailed study of λ- 9.75 μm GaAs/AlGaAs quantum cascade lasers. For a coated 2-rmm-long and 40-μm-wide laser, an optical power of 85 μ W is observed at 95% duty cycle at 80K. At a moderate driving pulse （1 kHz and 1% duty cycle）,the device presents a peak power more than 20mW even at 120K. At 80K, the fitted result of threshold current densities shows evidence of potential cw operation.

High-Power and Low-Threshold-Current-Density GaAs/AlGaAs Quantum Cascade Lasers

We report on the realization of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum cascade lasers with an emission wavelength of 9.1 μm above the liquid nitrogen temperature. With optimal current injection window and ridge width of 24 and 60μm respectively, a peak output power more than 500mW is achieved in pulsed mode operation. A low threshold current density Jth = 2.6 kA/cm^2 gives the devices good lasing characteristics. In a drive frequency of i kHz, the laser operates up to 20% duty cycle.

GaAs/AlGaAs量子级联激光器自脉动动力学

利用步进扫描时间分辨傅里叶变换红外光谱,研究了波长9.76μm GaAs/AlGaAs量子级联激光器的准连续波激射谱.在驱动电流周期内,时间上堆叠的发射谱能够观察到明显的光强自脉动现象.有源区中的自加热积累大大影响了电子的驰豫和输运性质.热引起的在注入区较高子能级中占据的载流子由于这些子能级与下一注入区的连续态形成共振条件而泄露,而耦合阱有源区中第四子能级的存在加快了这个过程.周期性破坏和恢复的共振条件所引起的载流子泄露在很大程度上导致了时域堆叠光谱的自脉动.
