Characterization of mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers
Quantum cascade lasers provide some of the highest output powers available for light in the mid-infrared range (from 3 to 8 μm). As many of their applications require portability, designs that have a high wall-plug efficiency are essential, and were designed and grown by others to achieve this goal. However, because a large fraction of these devices did not operate at all, very few of the stand...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Study of Terahertz Generation in Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Lasers
Terahertz quantum cascade laser sources based on intra-cavity difference-frequency generation are currently the only room-temperature mass-producible diode-laser-like emitters of coherent 1-6 THz radiation. Device performance has improved dramatically over the past few years to reach milliwatt-level power output and broad tuning from 1.2 to 5.9 THz, all at room-temperature. Terahertz output in ...
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 کاملUltrafast Mid-Infrared Dynamics in Quantum Cascade Lasers
This report summarizes the entire research period. In this program, we performed experiments using a femtosecond mid-infrared pump-probe system implemented for QCL samples operating at 4.6 and 5.3 μm. We employed femtosecond time-resolved pump-probe measurements to probe the nature of the transport through the laser structure via the dynamics of the gain. The gain recovery was determined by the...
متن کاملCavity ringdown spectroscopy using mid-infrared quantum-cascade lasers.
Cavity ringdown spectra of ammonia at 10 parts in 10(9) by volume (ppbv) and higher concentrations were recorded by use of a 16-mW continuous-wave quantum-casacde distributed-feedback laser at 8.5 mum whose wavelength was continuously temperature tuned over 15 nm. A sensitivity (noise-equivalent absorbance) of 3.4x10(-9) cm(-1) Hz(-1/2) was achieved for ammonia in nitrogen at standard temperatu...
