Abstract

Using microprobe photoluminescence we measured the electronic and lattice temperatures in operating quantum cascade lasers having similar chirped-superlattice active regions but different (GaAs/AlAs or GaAs/Al0.45Ga0.55As) conduction band discontinuities. Our results demonstrate the establishment of a thermalized hot-electron distribution. Coupling between the electronic ensemble and the lattice increases with the band-offset and influences the optical characteristics of the devices.
