We demonstrate surface emitting distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers emitting at wavelengths from8.1 μm at 90 K to 8.4 μm at 210K.The second-order metalized grating is carefully designed using a modified coupled-mode theory and fabricated by contact lithography.The devices show single mode behavior with a side mode suppression ratio above 18dB at all working temperatures.At 90K,the device emits an optical power of 101 mW from the surface and 199mW from the edge.In addition,a double-lobe far-field patte with a separation of 2.2° is obtained in the direction along the waveguide.
