Analysis of the Thermal Roll-Over of Quantum Cascade Lasers

A description of thermal roll-over in room temperature continuous-wave operating quantum cascade lasers is presented. Models predicting maximum operating temperature and the power-current characteristics in their entirety are in excellent agreement with experimental results.
