Abstract
We present third harmonic generation from an InGaAs/AlInAs Quantum Cascade laser based on a three-well diagonal transition active region with an integrated third-order nonlinear oscillator. The device displays pump radiation at λ~11.1 µm and third order nonlinear light generation at λ~3.7 µm as well as second harmonic generation at λ~5.4 µm.
