摘要
A 4-mu m GaInSb/InAs type-II quantum well (QW) laser has shown a substantial improvement in internal loss and quantum efficiency, which has been a problem for this type of laser. It yielded 0.9-1.5 W peak, 90-150 mW average single-ended output for 0.1-1 ms pulses at 71 K, with a net power efficiency of similar to 3.5%-4%. The power and efficiency are among the highest long-pulse results reported for any semiconductor laser of comparable wavelength. Comparison with similar QW lasers suggests that the improvement is a result of better material growth. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
