Tunable semiconductor lasers with controlled absorber based on GaInAsSb/GaAlAsSb quantum well heterostructure was fabricated and experimentally studied. The emission wavelength of these lasers shifts from 2.24 to 2.28 μm when the bias on the control contact decreases from the voltage equal to that on the main electrode to 0 V when the control contact is grounded. The principle of operation of such a device is given.
