Pulsed laser operation was observed at 15° C with a threshold current of 1.1 A (10 kA/cm2),
and a maximum power output of 30 mW, and a maximum differential quantum efficiency of
9%. Lasers operated pulsed up to 60° C with a characteristic temperature of 58 K over the
range of 0–40° C. To date, 2.78 μm is the longest emission wavelength for a room‐
temperature III–V laser.
