Grating-tuned external-cavity quantum-cascade semiconductor lasers
2001
Grating-coupled external-cavity quantum-cascade lasers were studied for temperatures from 80 to 230 K. At 80 K, a tuning range of ∼65–88 nm are obtained for 4.5 and 5.1 μm laser amplifiers, respectively. The tuning ranges for both narrowed substantially with increasing temperature, to ∼23 nm at 203 K. The threshold varied slowly versus wavelength, while the efficiency appeared to be close to optimum toward wavelengths shorter than the free running wavelength.
