We present GaSb based interband cascade lasers with a center emission wavelength of 6170 nm that emit in cw operation up to a temperature of 40°C. While the pulsed threshold current density for a broad area laser is as low as 500 A/cm² at a temperature of 20°C a ridge waveguide laser with 23µm ridge width reaches more than 25mW of output power, the results were achieved by careful optimizations of the active region design, the waveguide design and epi down mounting of the laser chips.
