Abstract
Quantum Cascade devices with an emission wavelength centered around 5 μm have been shaped into compact, yet long (8 mm and 12 mm) spiral cavities to increase mid-infrared superluminescence (SL) power. Up to ∼57 mW of SL power at 250 K is obtained with a Gaussian emission spectrum with a full width at half maximum of 56 cm-1 and a coherence length of ∼107 μm.
