| description | We report the design of an active region of InxGa1−xAs1−yNy /AlAs quantum cascade laser structure
emitting in the near infrared wavelength range based on an eight-band k· p model. The
InxGa1−xAs1−yNy /AlAs heterostructure system is of significant interest for the development of short
wavelength quantum cascade lasers due to its large conduction band discontinuity 1.5 eV and
compatibility with the mature GaAs fabrication process. A detailed analysis of the intersubband
transition energy within the conduction band as a function of layer thickness, composition, electric
field, and temperature has been carried out. Finally, an optimized combination of
In0.2Ga0.8As0.97N0.03 /AlAs three-coupled-well structure has been obtained. Under an applied field of
100 kV/cm and at room temperature, a shortest wavelength of 3.4 m has been achieved by
making use of this system without introducing an upper lasing level beyond the X minima of the
AlAs barrier |
