摘要
Quantum cascade lasers based on the InAs/AlSb material system have been realised. The optical confinement is obtained using a plasmon waveguide with n(+)-InAs cladding layers. In pulse mode the lasers emit close to 6.7 mum with a threshold current density of 5 kA/cm(2) at 90K. The maximum operating temperature is 220K.
