We report the demonstration of continuous-wave interband cascade lasers (ICLs) near 13 μm. The attained lasing wavelength of 13.2 μm at 92 K stands as the longest cw emission wavelength ever reported for III-V interband lasers. This achievement is attributed to the adoption of an innovative quantum well (QW) active region comprising strained InAs0.5P0.5 layers in contrast to the commonly used “W” QW active region, showing the potential of the modified QW active region with InAsP layers in improving device performance and extending wavelength coverage of ICLs.
