  • Abstract
    A lateral etched-grating process was used to produce singlemode distributed feedback laser diodes at 3.23 μm. The devices are based on InGaAsSb/AlInGaAsSb type-I quantum well active regions grown on GaSb substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The lasers were used in high-resolution spectroscopy of methane gas near the v3, R7 vibrational absorption transitions.
