摘要：

Type-II interband cascade lasers have been demonstrated at emission wavelengths longer than 5.1 mum at temperatures up to 163 and 240K in continuous wave and pulsed modes, respectively. The emission wavelengths are the longest attained among III-V interband diode lasers. The threshold current density is as low as 36 A/cm(2) at 80K.
