Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ability for finely controlling a central wavelength through waveguide coating without introducing a loss or non-linear refraction factor significant for dielectric materials or waveguide process having a low absorption rate within an intermediate IR range, and having high insulation durability for enabling high-power/high-temperature operation in ISB laser technology, through low loss mesa dielectric coating for providing efficient heat conduction through the side wall of mesa, by laterally sealing light without increasing threshold current density for lasing and further through low loss coating on a comparatively narrow mesa. SOLUTION: In a mesa structure semiconductor laser 10, a stripe structure contact 18 is specified on the top of the mesa, and patterned dielectric coating to be used for providing significant waveguide property contains chalcogenide glass 16. Especially, the application to an inter-sub-band (quantum cascade, for example,) is described.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for optically transmitting data to a remote receiver. SOLUTION: The method for optically transmitting the data to the remote receiver comprises a step of receiving a stream of input data signal, a step of modulating a mid-IR laser by a direct modulation by a waveform having a sequential value corresponding to the stream of the data signals, a step of pumping the mid-IR laser, so as to generate high optical power level corresponding to a different value of the sequential value and a low optical power level from a direct modulation, and a step of transmitting the output signal from the modulated mid-IR laser to the remote receiver via a free space communications channel.

Abstract: A self mode-locking (SML) mid-infrared (5 and 8 .mu.m) quantum cascade laser is formed that comprises both a relatively thin dielectric insulating layer (i.e., less than one-half micron in thickness) overlaid with an optically highly lossy (i.e., absorbing) layer, with a relatively long (approximately 3.5 mm) optical waveguide. Evidence of mode-locking is obtained from the measured optical spectra and corresponding interferograms, as well as from the rf spectra of the photocurrent detected with a fast quantum-well infrared photodetector. A n estimate for the pulse width of approximately 3 psec is inferred from these data.

Abstract: A process for optically transmitting data to a remote receiver includes receiving a stream of input data signals and modulating a mid-IR laser by direct modulation with a waveform whose sequential values are responsive of the dat a signals of the stream. The direct modulation includes pumping the mid-IR las er to produce high and low optical power levels in response to different ones of t he values. The process also includes transmitting output light from the modulated mid-I R laser to the remote receiver via a free space communications channel.
