We report the fabrication of single mode quantum cascade lasers using a shallow-etched distributed Bragg reflector as frequency selective element. Quasi-continuous single mode tuning over 15 cm-1 at room temperature and 25 cm-1 via temperature tuning at Peltier temperatures is demonstrated. The behavior of both electro-optic and spectral characteristics under variation of the segment currents is analyzed, showing a maximum peak output power at room temperature of 600 mW. Thermal crosstalk between the laser segments is investigated. The spectral resolution of a gas absorption experiment is determined to be better than 0.0078 cm-1.
