Abstract :
High-power continuous-wave operation of long wavelength quantum cascade lasers grown by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy is reported. The lasers have been processed as buried heterostructures with thick gold-plated contacts. The devices emit at a wavelength of 9.5 μm with output powers of several hundreds of milliwatts at room temperature.
