Abstract

We present an experimental study of the turn-on delay in pulsed mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers. We report the unexpectedly long delay time depending on the pumping current, which does not agree with conventional theoretical predictions for step-like excitation. Similar behavior has been observed in InP- and InAs-based QCLs emitting near 8 μm. Numerical simulations performed using a model based on rate equations for excitation by current pulses with non-zero rise time provide fair agreement with our observations.
