Compared to thermal pixels, mid-infrared LEDs have near instantaneous settling times, achieve higher radiance, can have multi-spectral output, and are safer. Multispectral output creates the possibility of emission into narrowed bands for either sensing multiple gas species or creating dual emission thermal pixel arrays. However, their adoption for these applications is hindered by spectral crosstalk from emission tails at room temperature, and additionally by low efficiency, problematic in dense LED arrays with strict power density requirements. This work explores three approaches to designing two-color mid-infrared LED arrays, targeting reduced spectral crosstalk and lower power requirements: 1) monolithic two-color LEDs; 2) monolithic two-color cavity LEDs; and 3) filtered single-color cavity LEDs combined spatially. Performance metrics, such as power-to-temperature efficiency and radiance-to-crosstalk ratios, are compared across designs.

By solely adjusting the output coupling ratio from 30% to 50%, the maximum average output power at a pump power of 4.5 W is significantly increased from 238 mW to 391.2 mW in a single-pulse operation. The corresponding maximum pulse energy reaches 99.5 nJ at a repetition rate of 3.933 MHz, with a broad 3 dB bandwidth of 33.40 nm centered at 1948 nm. The laser exhibits excellent stability, as evidenced by a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 69 dB.
