Emissive characteristics of mesa-stripe lasers (λ=3.0–3.6 μm) made from InGaAsSb/InAsSbP double heterostructures

The directional patterns, current-voltage characteristics, and spectral characteristics of mesastripe lasers with InGaAsSb active layers, emitting at λ=3.0–3.6 μm (77 K) and having threshold currents ≥15 mA (j th≥200 A/cm2), are investigated. The maximum output power is 1.4 mW (λ∼3.3 μm), the differential quantum efficiency ∼3%(τ=5–30 μs, f=500 Hz) for lasing in a longitudinal mode with beam divergences ΔΘ∥∼15° and ΔΘ ⊥ ∼30°. The relationship of the differential quantum efficiency to the order of the spatial mode of the lasing is demonstrated. A single-mode, current-tunable (−30 cm−1/A) laser is used to measure the transmission of methane in the region of the ν 3 absorption band.
