Temperature Effect on THz Quantum Cascade Lasers
A simple semi-phenomenological model, which accurately predicts the dependence of thresholdcurrent for temperature of Resonant-phonon three well quantum cascade laser based on verticaltransitions is offered. We found that, the longitude optical phonon scattering of thermally excitedelectrons is the most important limiting factor for thermal performance of high frequency THz QCLs.In low frequenc...
متن کاملTerahertz difference-frequency quantum cascade laser sources on silicon
Terahertz quantum cascade laser sources based on intra-cavity frequency mixing are currently the only monolithic electrically pumped semiconductor devices that can operate in the 1–6 THz spectral range at room temperature. The introduction of the Cherenkov waveguide scheme in these devices grown on semi-insulating InP substrates enabled generation of tens of microwatts of average terahertz powe...

متن کاملTunable terahertz quantum cascade lasers with external gratings.
We demonstrate a frequency tunable external cavity terahertz quantum cascade laser using an abutted antireflection-coated silicon lens to reduce facet reflection and as a beam-forming element, with an external grating providing frequency selective optical feedback. Angle tuning of the grating allows a single longitudinal mode of the laser ridge to be selected, resulting in discontinuous tuning ...
متن کاملHeterogeneously Integrated Distributed Feedback Quantum Cascade Lasers on Silicon
Silicon integration of mid-infrared (MIR) photonic devices promises to enable low-cost, compact sensing and detection capabilities that are compatible with existing silicon photonic and silicon electronic technologies. Heterogeneous integration by bonding III-V wafers to silicon waveguides has been employed previously to build integrated diode lasers for wavelengths from 1310 to 2010 nm. Recent...
متن کاملMEMS-plunger platform for tunable terahertz wire laser at 5 K
The tuning of a terahertz quantum cascade wire laser, operated at ∼5 K, is demonstrated using a micro-machined metal or silicon object, called a ‘plunger’, attached to a MEMS-based two-stage flexure and actuated by a differential micrometer through a piezo-actuator that is de-amplified by a lever system. The heterogeneous system including the plunger, made from a silicon-on-insulator wafer, and...
