Broadband Distributed-Feedback Quantum Cascade Laser Array Operating From 8.0 to 9.8 $\mu$ m

An ultra-broadband distributed-feedback quantum cascade laser array was fabricated, using a heterogeneous cascade based on two bound-to-continuum designs centered at 8.4 and 9.6 mum. This array emitted in a range over 220 cm-1 near a 9-mu m wavelength, operated in pulsed mode at room temperature. The output power of the array varied between 100- and 1100-mW peak intensity.
