Quantum Well Intersubband Transitions as a Source of Terahertz Radiation
| It is shown that unipolar quantum well systems have potential as sources of terahertz radiation. It is demonstrated that the electronic interactions within these systems must be manipulated in order to favour radiative emission rather than non-radiative loss. Designs are advanced for tunable emitters and optically excited terahertz lasers.
متن کاملOptimizing terahertz emission from double quantum wells
The terahertz (THz) radiation emitted from a double quantum well is investigated and optimized. Exploiting the phenomenon of quantum stochastic resonance (whereby the oscillation amplitude of a dissipative two-level system exhibits at low temperatures a non-monotonic response with respect to the parameters of a monochromatic external field or the strength of dissipation) to drive a series of id...
متن کاملLinewidth and tuning characteristics of terahertz quantum cascade lasers.
We have measured the spectral linewidths of three continuous-wave quantum cascade lasers operating at terahertz frequencies by heterodyning the free-running quantum cascade laser with two far-infrared gas lasers. Beat notes are detected with a GaAs diode mixer and a microwave spectrum analyzer, permitting very precise frequency measurements and giving instantaneous linewidths of less than -30 k...
متن کاملTuning a terahertz wire laser
Tunable terahertz lasers are desirable in applications in sensing and spectroscopy because many biochemical species have strong spectral fingerprints at terahertz frequencies. Conventionally, the frequency of a laser is tuned in a similar manner to a stringed musical instrument, in which pitch is varied by changing the length of the string (the longitudinal component of the wave vector) and/or ...
متن کاملTerahertz quantum cascade lasers based on intra-well optical transitions
The possibility to achieve laser action at different THz frequencies employing the so-called vertical transition will be discussed. The intra-well or vertical optical transition presents a number of features that makes it an ideal candidate for a systematic study of resonant tunnelling and dephasing in quantum cascade lasers. Laser action at 3.5 THz with very low threshold employing a single qu...
