Abstract

We have demonstrated 4-μm InAs/InGaSb/AlSb interband cascade lasers with optical output power close to 0.5 W per facet with 1-μs pulses at 1 kHz repetition rate. At 10% duty cycle, an average output power ∼20 mW was realized. External and internal quantum efficiencies exceeding 200% have been achieved at 80 K.
