[Diodes laser à base GaSb pour moyen infrarouge (2–5 μm)]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 4 (2003) no. 6, pp. 621-637.

Les diodes laser émettant en continu à température ambiante dans le moyen infrarouge (domaine spectral 2–5 μm) sont réclamées pour des applications telles que la spectroscopie d'absorption par diodes lasers accordables (TDLAS) et le contrôle de l'environnement. Aujourd'hui de tels composants semiconducteurs n'existent pas, à l'exception de diodes laser à puits quantiques de type-I GaInAsSb/AlGaAsSb qui présentent d'excellentes performances à température ambiante, mais uniquement dans le domaine 2.0–2.6 μm. Au delà de 2.6 μm, les lasers à puits quantiques de type-II à GaInAsSb/GaSb, les lasers « W » utilisant le système de type-III InAs/GaInSb, et les lasers à cascade quantique à transitions inter-bandes dans le système InAs/Ga(In)Sb/AlSb, tous élaborés sur substrat GaSb, constituent des filières compétitives pour atteindre l'objectif d'un fonctionnement en continu à température ambiante. Ces différentes technologies sont discutées dans cet article.

Laser diodes emitting at room temperature in continuous wave regime (CW) in the mid-infrared (2–5 μm spectral domain) are needed for applications such as high sensitivity gas analysis by tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) and environmental monitoring. Such semiconductor devices do not exist today, with the exception of type-I GaInAsSb/AlGaAsSb quantum well laser diodes which show excellent room temperature performance, but only in the 2.0–2.6 μm wavelength range. Beyond 2.6 μm, type-II GaInAsSb/GaSb QW lasers, type-III ‘W’ InAs/GaInSb lasers, and interband quantum cascade lasers employing the InAs/Ga(In)Sb/AlSb system, all based on GaSb substrate, are competitive technologies to reach the goal of room temperature CW operation. These different technologies are discussed in this paper.
