We review the history, development, design principles, experimental operating
characteristics, and specialized architectures of interband cascade lasers for the mid-wave …

We review the current status of interband cascade lasers (ICLs) emitting in the midwave
infrared (IR). The ICL may be considered the hybrid of a conventional diode laser that …

The mid-infrared (mid-IR) is a wavelength range with a variety of technologically vital
applications in molecular sensing, security and defense, energy conservation, and …

The interband cascade laser differs from any other class of semiconductor laser,
conventional or cascaded, in that most of the carriers producing population inversion are …

Chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems is featured with irregular appearance and with high
sensitivity to initial conditions. Near-infrared light chaos based on semiconductor lasers has …

We have synthesized atomically flat CdSe/CdTe core/crown nanoplatelets (NPLs) with
thicknesses of 3, 4, and 5 monolayers with fine control of the crown lateral dimensions. In …

Experimental evidence that in quantum cascade lasers electron injection into the active
region is controlled by resonant tunneling between two-dimensional subbands is discussed …

This Feature highlights recent advances on mid-infrared thin-film waveguide technology and
on-chip photonics facilitating next-generation label-free chem/bio sensor and assay …

Lasers continue to be an amazingly robust field of activity. Anyone seeking a photon source
is now confronted with an enormous number of possible lasers and laser wavelengths to …

Recent advances and new directions in quantum cascade (QC) lasers are discussed.
Invented in 1994 following many years of research on band-structure engineered …
