Time domain modeling of terahertz quantum cascade lasers for frequency comb generation.
The generation of frequency combs in the mid-infrared and terahertz regimes from compact and potentially cheap sources could have a strong impact on spectroscopy, as many molecules have their rotovibrational bands in this spectral range. Thus, quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are the perfect candidates for comb generation in these portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Here we present a theoret...

متن کاملMeasurement of the intrinsic linewidth of terahertz quantum cascade lasers using a near-infrared frequency comb.
We report the measurement of the frequency noise power spectral density of a quantum cascade laser emitting at 2.5THz. The technique is based on heterodyning the laser emission frequency with a harmonic of the repetition rate of a near-infrared laser comb. This generates a beatnote in the radio frequency range that is demodulated using a tracking oscillator allowing measurement of the frequency...
متن کاملOrigins of Terahertz Difference Frequency Susceptibility in Midinfrared Quantum Cascade Lasers
We present a density-matrix-based transport model applicable to quantum cascade lasers which computes both linear and nonlinear optical properties coherently and nonperturbatively. The model is applied to a dual-active-region midinfrared quantum cascade laser which generates terahertz radiation at the difference frequency between two midinfrared pumps. A new mechanism for terahertz generation i...
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...
