A. Popov et al., HIGH-POWER INASSB INASSBP DOUBLE-HETEROSTRUCTURE LASER FOR CONTINUOUS-WAVE OPERATION AT 3.6 MU-M/, Applied physics letters, 68(20), 1996, pp. 2790-2792
High continuous wave (cw) optical output power of 10 mW has been achie
ved from an InAsSb diode laser at 82 K in the 3.6 mu m spectral region
. The threshold current has been as low as 37 mA st 82 It with a chara
cteristic temperature of 23 K. It could be shown that in multimode ope
ration of the InAsSb-laser the cw optical output power for a single la
sing mode is limited to about 2 mW. (C) 1996 American Institute of Phy
