Mid-infrared (mid-IR λ ≈ 3–12 μm), single-mode-emission Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) are of significant interest for a wide range of applications, especially as the laser sources are chosen for laser absorption spectroscopy. In this work, we present the design, fabrication and characterization of multi-section, coupled-cavity, mid-IR quantum cascade lasers. The purpose of this work is to propose a design modification for a coupled-cavity device, yielding a single-mode emission with a longer range of continuous tuning during the pulse, in contrast to a 2-section device. This effect was obtained and demonstrated in the work. The proposed design of a 3-section coupled-cavity QCL allows for a single-mode emission with 35 dB side-mode suppression ratio. Additionally, the time-resolved spectra of the wavelength shift during pulse operation, show a continuous tuning of ~3 cm−1 during the 2 μs pulse. The devices were fabricated in a slightly modified, standard laser process using dry etching.
