For room temperature CW operation, the wafer with 35 stages was processed into buried heterostructure lasers. For a 2-mm-long and 10-μm-wide laser with high-reflectivity(HR) coating on the rear facet, CW output power of 45 m W at 283 K and 9 m W at 303 K is obtained. The lasing wavelength is around 9.4 μm locating in the LWIR spectrum range.展开更多
