N. Ulbrich et al., High-temperature (T >= 470 K) pulsed operation of 5.5 mu m quantum cascadelasers with high-reflection coating, ELECTR LETT, 37(22), 2001, pp. 1341-1342
High-temperature operation of 5.5 mum strain-compensated InGaAs/InAlAs quan
tum cascade lasers with high-reflection (H-R) coating is presented. A thres
hold current density of 7.5 kA/cm(2) was observed at the record high temper
ature of 470 K using HR coating on both facets with reflectivities of 99.6
and 80.2%, respectively.
