چکیده
Quantum Cascade lasers In article number 2100242, Barbara Schneider and co-workers present strong microwave injection in quantum cascade laser frequency combs as a means for controlling the lasing state. Varying modulation power enables us to broaden shift spectral output well modify phase profile. Moreover, fast gain dynamics enable rapid switching between separate regions with just single device.

Microwave photonics connected with microresonator frequency combs
Microresonator frequency combs (microcombs) are very promising as ultra-compact broadband sources for microwave photonic applications. Conversely, microwave photonic techniques are also employed intensely in the study of microcombs to reveal and control the comb formation dynamics. In this paper, we reviewed the microwave photonic techniques and applications that are connected with microcombs. ...
متن کاملTerahertz laser frequency combs
The development of optical frequency combs has had a revolutionary impact on high-precision metrology and spectroscopy, and the development was recognized with a Nobel Prize in 2005. At visible and near-infrared frequencies, the combs are often formed based on mode-locked lasers whose periodic pulse trains in the time domain naturally lead to frequency combs from the duality relation in Fourier...
متن کاملBroadband monolithic extractor for metal-metal waveguide based terahertz quantum cascade laser frequency combs
We present a monolithic solution to extract efficiently light from terahertz quantum cascade lasers with metal-metal waveguides suitable for broadband frequency comb applications. The design is optimized for a bandwidth of 500 GHz around a center frequency of 2.6 THz. A five-fold increase in total output power is observed compared to standard metal-metal waveguides. The extractor features a sin...
متن کاملEvaluating the coherence and time-domain profile of quantum cascade laser frequency combs.
Recently, much attention has been focused on the generation of optical frequency combs from quantum cascade lasers. We discuss how fast detectors can be used to demonstrate the mutual coherence of such combs, and present an inequality that can be used to quantitatively evaluate their performance. We discuss several technical issues related to shifted wave interference Fourier Transform spectros...
متن کاملHigh efficiency quantum cascade laser frequency comb
An efficient mid-infrared frequency comb source is of great interest to high speed, high resolution spectroscopy and metrology. Here we demonstrate a mid-IR quantum cascade laser frequency comb with a high power output and narrow beatnote linewidth at room temperature. The active region was designed with a strong-coupling between the injector and the upper lasing level for high internal quantum...
