High-Power Mid-Infrared (λ∼3-6 μm) Quantum Cascade Lasers

The performances of mid-infrared (IR) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are now reaching a maturity level that enables a variety of applications which require compact laser sources capable of watt-range output powers with high beam quality. We review the fundamental design issues and current performance...
