چکیده

We demonstrate the generation of cw tunable far-infrared radiation by mixing a quantum cascade laser and a CO>(2) laser in a W-Ni metal-insulator-metal diode. The first known spectroscopic application to the recording of an H(79)Br transition near 4.47 THz is reported.

Broadly 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...

Ultrafast and Nonlinear Spectroscopy of Solids with Small Energy Photons

Ultrashort pulses of intense, coherent, and tunable far-infrared (FIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) radiation, achievable with freeelectron lasers (FELs) and optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs), provide unique opportunities to investigate low energy dynamics in solids. This paper reviews our recent experiments on bulk and quantum-confined semiconductors using such radiation. These experiments includ...
