Abstrakt: We report stimulated emission in the 2.8-3.5 μm wavelength range from HgTe/CdHgTe quantum well (QW) heterostructures at temperatures available with thermoelectric cooling. The structures were designed to suppress the Auger recombination by implementing narrow (1.5 - 2 nm wide) QWs. We conclude that Peltier cooled operation is feasible in lasers based on such structures, making them of interest for spectroscopy applications in the atmospheric transparency window from 3 to 5 μm.
