Research abstract
Pendar will use bandstructure engineering to optimize new quantum cascade laser design, with the goal of developing laser chips with wall-plug efficiency exceeding 40% and power level of 10 Watts while maintaining good beam quality. We will in particular focus our efforts on means to minimize the detrimental effects of carrier leakage and to improve the thermal impedance of the lasers.
