Abstract
Abstract
Watt-range CW powers were achieved over the 3.8-10.8 micron wavelength range. Carrier-leakage suppression and fast carrier extraction allow quantum cascade lasers to reach internal efficiencies near fundamental limits (~ 92 %). Then, CW wall-plug efficiencies ≥ 40 % and powers ≥ 10 W become possible.
