Room temperature operation of a photonic crystal quantum cascade laser

• We report on design, fabrication and investigation of a buried heterostructure photonic crystal quantum cascade laser operating in the mid-IR (8.5μm) at room temperature, leading to single mode emission on a 600μm by 600μm mesa.
