Nonlinear Generation of Mid-Infrared Radiation in Quantum Well Laser

Abstract

A possibility of mid-infrared radiation generation due to lattice nonlineanty in a quantum well laser based on InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs heterostructure is discussed. It is shown that this mechanism can provide radiation power of about 10 mW in the 10 micromater wavelength region in a laser which generates two 10W modes in the 1 micrometer wavelength range.
