Resumo

A single-mode output power of 41 mW has been obtained at T=120 K and lambdaap3.44 mum from a narrow-ridge interband cascade laser patterned with a Ge distributed-feedback grating. The sidemode suppression ratio at the maximum power is 23 dB, and the linewidth of 0.1 nm is instrument-limited. An alternate contacting geometry yielded robust single-mode output over a broad range of currents and temperatures, and current tuning of the wavelength by up to 17 nm
