Semiconductor structures, quantum cascade structures and lasers including the structures are provided. The semiconductor structures include a substrate, a metamorphic buffer layer structure over the substrate, and a quantum cascade structure including a superlattice of quantum wells and barriers over the metamorphic buffer layer structure. The substrate may be GaAs and the quantum cascade structure may be an InGaAs/InAlAs superlattice, including one or more barriers of AlAs. |
