A heterogeneous quantum-cascade structure based on two bound-to-continuum designs emitting at 9.6 and 8.4 μm is presented. Its spontaneous emission spectrum at room temperature has a full width at half maximum of 350 cm-1 and shows a variation of intensity of less than 20% over more than 200 cm-1. External cavity lasers using a grating in Littrow configuration and antireflection coated chips with this active region could be tuned over 265 cm-1 from 8.2 to 10.4 μm, that is, over 24% of the center wavelength.
