Broadband all-electronically tunable MEMS terahertz quantum cascade lasers.
In this work, we demonstrate all-electronically tunable terahertz quantum cascade lasers (THz QCLs) with MEMS tuner structures. A two-stage MEMS tuner device is fabricated by a commercial open-foundry process performed by the company MEMSCAP. This provides an inexpensive, rapid, and reliable approach for MEMS tuner fabrication for THz QCLs with a high-precision alignment scheme. In order to ele...
متن کاملWidely tunable distributed-feedback lasers with chirped gratings
A quasicontinuous tuning range of 65 nm at 3.2 m was obtained for continuous wave, single-longitudinal-mode operation at 77 K of an optically pumped distributed-feedback laser with a chirped grating. Interferometric lithography with spherical wavefronts was used to fabricate a large-area chirped grating whose period varied continuously in the direction of the grating lines. Tuning was achieved ...
متن کاملTunable terahertz quantum cascade lasers with external gratings.
We demonstrate a frequency tunable external cavity terahertz quantum cascade laser using an abutted antireflection-coated silicon lens to reduce facet reflection and as a beam-forming element, with an external grating providing frequency selective optical feedback. Angle tuning of the grating allows a single longitudinal mode of the laser ridge to be selected, resulting in discontinuous tuning ...
متن کاملBroadly tunable terahertz generation in mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers.
Room temperature, broadly tunable, electrically pumped semiconductor sources in the terahertz spectral range, similar in operation simplicity to diode lasers, are highly desired for applications. An emerging technology in this area are sources based on intracavity difference-frequency generation in dual-wavelength mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers. Here we report terahertz quantum cascade las...
متن کاملEffective mode selector for tunable terahertz wire lasers.
We demonstrate an effective mode selector design that enables a terahertz quantum cascade wire laser to have a robust single-mode operation at frequencies much lower than the gain peak. This is achieved by selectively guiding the undesired modes into a lossy session while keeping the desired lasing mode largely unperturbed. The large mode discrimination obtained by this mode selector is necessa...
