Strain mapping in interband cascade lasers [PDF]
AIP Advances, 2022 A typical interband cascade laser wafer contains more than 2000 multilayers composed of InAs, AlSb, GaSb, and GaInSb. The lattice constants of the three materials except GaSb have a certain degree of mismatch with the GaSb substrate. Therefore, to grow a

Substrate-emitting ring interband cascade lasers [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2017 We demonstrate interband cascade lasers fabricated into ring-shaped cavities with vertical light emission through the substrate at a wavelength of λ ≈ 3.7 μm. The out-coupling mechanism is based on a metallized second-order distributed feedback grating. At room-temperature, a pulsed threshold current-density of 0.75 kA/cm2 and a temperature-tuning rate
