Abstract

Mid-infrared (MIR) lasers are highly desirable for a variety of application such as medical diagnostics, remote chemical sensing, infrared countermeasures, and molecular spectroscopy. Semiconductor diode lasers have significant advantages in terms of cost, volume, weight, reliability, and power dissipation. A compact, MIR semiconductor lasers can be spanned from 2 to beyond 13 μm, which include the absorption lines of most target gases and pollutant that are currently the object of environmental sensing applications. The developments in the operation of type-II interband cascade laser, a laser with high output power and low threshold current density at liquid nitrogen temperature, are discussed.
