Near-field imaging of quantum cascade laser transverse modes.
We report near field imaging of the transverse lasing modes of quantum cascade lasers. A mid-infrared apertureless near-field scanning optical microscope was used to characterize the modes on the laser facet. A very stable mode pattern corresponding to a TM(00) mode was observed as function of increasing driving current for a narrow active region quantum cascade laser. Higher order modes were o...

متن کاملNear field imaging of a plasmon photonic crystal patterned on the facet of a quantum cascade laser
Planar photonic crystal (PPC) has recently attracted much attention as a promising platform for the realization of compact nanocavity devices. Our proposed photonic crystal (PC) structure consists of a periodic hole array with a point defect at the center. The device has been integrated on the facet of a quantum cascade laser working in the mid-infrared region of optical spectrum. Finite-differ...
متن کاملInfrared near-field spectroscopy of trace explosives using an external cavity quantum cascade laser.
Utilizing a broadly-tunable external cavity quantum cascade laser for scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM), we measure infrared spectra of particles of explosives by probing characteristic nitro-group resonances in the 7.1-7.9 µm wavelength range. Measurements are presented with spectral resolution of 0.25 cm(-1), spatial resolution of 25 nm, sensitivity better than 1...
متن کاملQuantum dot cascade laser
UNLABELLED We demonstrated an unambiguous quantum dot cascade laser based on InGaAs/GaAs/InAs/InAlAs heterostructure by making use of self-assembled quantum dots in the Stranski-Krastanow growth mode and two-step strain compensation active region design. The prototype generates stimulated emission at λ ~ 6.15 μm and a broad electroluminescence band with full width at half maximum over 3 μm. The...
