Abstract The authors report the development of a $\lambda \sim 4.1$ μm quantum cascade laser grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition using strain-balanced InGaAs/InAlAs materials. A device with a 7.5 mm cavity length and 6.5 μm ridge width, bonded to an aluminum nitride heatsink, achieves maximum output powers of 3.4 W at 288 K in pulsed mode and 1.6 W at 288 K in continuous-wave (CW) operation, with corresponding maximum wall-plug efficiencies of 14.8% and 9.3%. A kink is observed in the power-current curve under CW operation, which is absent in pulsed operation. Near-field results show that in CW operation, the horizontal beam quality factor $M^{2}$ fluctuates with current, indicating mode instability and high-order lateral mode excitation, while in pulsed mode, the horizontal $M^{2}$ remains stable around 1.3 as the current increases from 1.4 A to 1.9 A.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
