We discuss an ultrawide, voltage-tunable type-II mid-IR interband cascade laser. Its design has a charge accumulation layers outside of the optically active quantum wells that unclamps the electron-hole concentrations and facilitates above-threshold Stark shifts. Our results demonstrate laser tuning of 120 nm ͑120 cm −1 ͒.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
