Terahertz 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 کاملSpectral purity and tunability of terahertz quantum cascade laser sources based on intracavity difference-frequency generation
Terahertz sources based on intracavity difference-frequency generation in mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers (THz DFG-QCLs) have recently emerged as the first monolithic electrically pumped semiconductor sources capable of operating at room temperature across the 1- to 6-THz range. Despite tremendous progress in power output, which now exceeds 1 mW in pulsed and 10 μW in continuous-wave regime...
متن کاملBroadband monolithic extractor for metal-metal waveguide based terahertz quantum cascade laser frequency combs
We present a monolithic solution to extract efficiently light from terahertz quantum cascade lasers with metal-metal waveguides suitable for broadband frequency comb applications. The design is optimized for a bandwidth of 500 GHz around a center frequency of 2.6 THz. A five-fold increase in total output power is observed compared to standard metal-metal waveguides. The extractor features a sin...
متن کاملStrain-compensated GaInAs/AlInAs/InP quantum cascade laser materials
Strain-compensated (SC) GaInAs/AlInAs/InP multiple-quantum-well structures and quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with strain levels of 1% and as high as 1.5% were grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE). The structures were characterized by high-resolution X-ray (HRXRD) diffraction and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and narrow-ridge QCL devices were fabricated. HRXRD and AFM results ind...
متن کاملHigh efficiency quantum cascade laser frequency comb
An efficient mid-infrared frequency comb source is of great interest to high speed, high resolution spectroscopy and metrology. Here we demonstrate a mid-IR quantum cascade laser frequency comb with a high power output and narrow beatnote linewidth at room temperature. The active region was designed with a strong-coupling between the injector and the upper lasing level for high internal quantum...
