Abstract

Mid-infrared lasers grown by MOCVD with ALAsSb claddings and strained InAsSb active regions are reported. A 3.8–3.9 μm injection laser with a pseudomorphic InAsSb multiple quantum well active region lased at 210 K under pulsed operation. A semi-metal layer acts as an internal electron source for the injection laser. An optically pumped laser with an InAsSb/InAsP strained-layer superlattice active region was demonstrated at 3.7 μm, 240 K.
