Temperature Effect on THz Quantum Cascade Lasers
A simple semi-phenomenological model, which accurately predicts the dependence of thresholdcurrent for temperature of Resonant-phonon three well quantum cascade laser based on verticaltransitions is offered. We found that, the longitude optical phonon scattering of thermally excitedelectrons is the most important limiting factor for thermal performance of high frequency THz QCLs.In low frequenc...
متن کاملFar Field Investigations on Quantum Cascade Lasers
Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are unipolar semiconductor lasers operating in the mid infrared region. Their emitted wavelength is defined by the separation of intersubband levels which can be tailored by band structure engineering. Due to the fact that the maximum conduction band offset in the GaAs/AlGaAs material system is 380 meV, the lowest directly accessible wavelength is roughly 7 μm. One...
متن کاملGround state terahertz quantum cascade lasers
A terahertz quantum cascade laser (THz QCL) architecture is presented in which only the ground state subbands of each quantum well are involved in the transport and lasing transition. Compared to state-of-the art THz QCLs based on the resonant-phonon scheme, ground state QCLs employ narrower wells so that all high-energy subbands are pushed up far above the occupied subband levels, significantl...
متن کاملDesign Optimization for 4.1-THZ Quantum Cascade Lasers
We present an optimized design for GaAs/AlGaAs quantum cascade lasers operating at 4.1THz. This was based on a three-well active module with diagonal radiative transition. This was performed by modifying the existing model structure, to reduce the parasitic anticrossings (leakage currents) as well as the optical gain linewidth. While the gain FWHM was reduced by more than 50% the gain pea...
