Abstract :
A report is made of the pulsed operation of In0.53Ga0.47As-AlAs0.56Sb0.44 quantum cascade structures on an InP substrate. The very large conduction band offset (∼1.6 eV) of this material system made it possible to observe electroluminescence at λ∼3.1 μm, the shortest emission wavelength yet observed for any intersubband device.
