Abstract :
InAs/AlSb distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers are presented. The lasers can operate in the single frequency regime at 3.34-3.38 mum in the 0-100degC temperature range in pulse mode. The wavelength tuning rate of the lasers is 0.27 nm/K and continuous tuning range up to 10 nm can be achieved.
