The measured characteristics of excited state lasing in tunnel injection p-doped InAs quantum dot lasers are reported. Excited state lasing at 1.22 μm is ensured by a high-reflectivity facet coating which is designed to suppress ground state lasing in the devices. The saturation modal gain in the excited states is 56 cm−1, which is a factor of ∼2.5 higher than that of the ground state. The small-signal modulation bandwidth for I=4.5Ith is 13.5 GHz and the differential gain is 1.1×10−15 cm2.
