A GeSn laser with higher Sn content is highly desirable to enhance the emission efficiency and to cover longer wavelength. This Letter reports optically pumped edge-emitting GeSn lasers operating at 3 μm, whose device structure featured Sn compositionally graded with a maximum Sn content of 22.

Relaxed GeSn with high material quality and high Sn composition is highly desirable to cover mid-infrared wavelength. However, its crystal growth remains a great challenge.

The material characterization revealed the precisely controlled material growth process. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra were correlated with band structure calculation for a structure accurately determined by high-resolution x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.
