Abstract
Mid-IR (3.8-3.9 μm) interband cascade lasers based on InAs/GaInSb heterostructures have been demonstrated at temperatures up to 210 K. The authors have observed a peak optical output power of ~2 W/facet from one device at 80 K, and from another device at 150 K, a slope of 735 mW/A per facet, corresponding to a differential external quantum efficiency of 456%
