    Photonics Products: Tunable Lasers: Commercial quantum-cascade laser technology matures

    John Wallace
    Four example innovations by quantum-cascade laser companies show us where the industry is going.
    From the experimentally measured dependence of slope efficiency (a) and threshold current density (b) on QCL cavity length, the injection efficiency can be determined. Here, an injection efficiency (ηi) of 70%, waveguide losses (αw) of 1.6 cm-1, differential gain (g) of 14 cm/kA, and transparency current density (Jtr) of 1.3 kA/cm2 were determined. All but the threshold current density are parameters that can be determined from a model.

    QUANTUM-CASCADE LASERS: Long-wavelength QCL emits 2 W at 9 μm

    John Wallace
    Long-wavelength quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) with record-high pulsed and continuous-wave (CW), room-temperature wall-plug efficiencies of 16% and 10% have been created by researchers...
    FIGURE 1. Typical QCLs are based on a two-phonon resonance approach in which the radiative transition from the upper laser level 4 to the lower laser level 3 is followed by two consecutive nonradiative transitions to the levels 2 and 1 (left). The nonresonant extraction QCL active-region design removes the resonance condition without sacrificing the efficient carrier extraction from the lower laser level (right).
