Diagonal-transition quantum cascade detector

Diagonal-transition quantum cascade detector

Quantum cascade detector utilizing the diagonal-transition scheme for high quality cavities.

A diagonal optically active transition in a quantum cascade detector is introduced as optimization parameter to obtain quality factor matching between a photodetector and a cavity. A more diagonal transition yields both higher extraction efficiency and lower noise, while the reduction of the absorption strength is compensated by the resonant cavity. The theoretical limits of such a scheme are o...

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...
