Abstract
A ten-stage interband cascade laser emitting at exhibits a voltage drop only 4% above the theoretical minimum, and operates to room temperature in pulsed mode. At , a five-stage device mounted epitaxial-side-up with coated facets has a maximum cw wallplug efficiency of 21%, and a second device produces up to of cw power.
