Optimization study of third harmonic generation in quantum cascade lasers.
A systematic optimization study of quantum cascade lasers with integrated nonlinearity for third-harmonic generation is performed. To model current transport the Pauli master equation is solved using a Monte Carlo approach. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied to obtain the Pareto front. Our theoretical analysis indicates an optimized structure with five orders of ...
متن کاملMicroscopic modeling of second harmonic generation in quantum cascade lasers
During the last 20 years since the first Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) [1] there has been substantial development. The long-wavelength limit exploiting intersubband transitions below the reststrahlenband with frequencies in the terahertz range [2] is currently an area of active research but efforts are also being made in the opposite direction towards the short-wavelength limit. As the lasing is ...
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...
متن کاملOptimized Second-Harmonic Generation in Quantum Cascade Lasers
Optimized second-harmonic generation (SHG) in quantum cascade (QC) lasers with specially designed active regions is reported. Nonlinear optical cascades of resonantly coupled intersubband transitions with giant second-order nonlinearities were integrated with each QC-laser active region. QC lasers with three-coupled quantum-well (QW) active regions showed up to 2 W of SHG light at 3.75 m wavele...
متن کاملSecond-Harmonic Emission from Quantum Cascade Lasers
The mid-infrared spectral region can be covered by quantum cascade (QC) semiconductor lasers, where the emission wavelength is tailored by bandstructure engineering. For a detailed review on QC lasers see Ref. [1]. Their emission energy is well below the band gaps of the hosting material system. Typical GaAs QC lasers operate in the mid-infrared regime with corresponding energies of ~100 meV, w...
