Abstract :
In this paper, we report the progress of Sb-based type-II mid-IR interband cascade lasers interms of both high operation temperatures and low threshold current density. The maximum cw operation temperature is readily raised with the fabrication of narrow-stripe lasers. The detailed characteristics of these lasers and updated results are presented.
