Monte Carlo Simulation of Electron Transport in Quantum Cascade Lasers
We describe a numerical simulator for the electron transport in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). A semi-classical transport model based on the Pauli master equation (PME) is used as it is considered a good trade-off between physical accuracy and computational efficiency [1]. The basis states for the PME are determined using a multi-band k·p Hamiltonian in order to account for the effects of band ...
متن کاملTemperature 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 کاملX-valley leakage in GaAs-based midinfrared quantum cascade lasers: A Monte Carlo study
We present a detailed Monte Carlo simulation of electron transport incorporating both and X-valley states in GaAs-based quantum cascade lasers QCLs . states are calculated using the K ·p method, while X states are obtained within the effective mass framework. All the relevant electron-phonon, electron-electron, and intervalley scattering mechanisms are included. We investigate the X-valley leak...
متن کاملCoupled carrier–phonon nonequilibrium dynamics in terahertz quantum cascade lasers: a Monte Carlo analysis
The operation of state-of-the-art optoelectronic quantum devices may be significantly affected by the presence of a nonequilibrium quasiparticle population to which the carrier subsystem is unavoidably coupled. This situation is particularly evident in new-generation semiconductor-heterostructure-based quantum emitters, operating both in the mid-infrared as well as in the terahertz (THz) region...
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...
