Abstract(in English) The authors report high temperature continuous-wave (cw) operations of broad-gain quantum cascade lasers based on the dual-upper-state to multiple-lower-state design. The devices exhibit extremely wide electroluminescence (>600 cm^<-1> FWHM) at room temperature. Despite showing such broad electroluminescence spectra, the HR-coated, buried heterostructure lasers operating at 6.8 um demonstrate a low threshold current density of ~1.5 kA/cm^2 and a high power of >500 mW in cw mode at 300 K. The maximum cw operating temperature of above 100 ℃ is achieved. In addition, the tuning ranges of 248 cm^<-1> (Δλ/λ_0~17%) in cw operation are demonstrated with an external cavity configuration.
