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 کاملDesign Optimization for 4.1-THZ Quantum Cascade Lasers
We present an optimized design for GaAs/AlGaAs quantum cascade lasers operating at 4.1THz. This was based on a three-well active module with diagonal radiative transition. This was performed by modifying the existing model structure, to reduce the parasitic anticrossings (leakage currents) as well as the optical gain linewidth. While the gain FWHM was reduced by more than 50% the gain pea...
متن کاملCoherence of resonant-tunneling transport in terahertz quantum-cascade lasers
We develop simple density-matrix models to describe the role of coherence in resonant-tunneling RT transport of quantum-cascade lasers QCLs . Specifically, we investigate the effects of coherent coupling between the lasing levels with other levels on the transport properties and gain spectra. In the first part of the paper, we use a three-level density-matrix model to obtain useful analytical e...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Electron Transport in Quantum Cascade Lasers
We describe a numerical simulator for the electron transport in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). A semi-classical transport model based on the Pauli master equation (PME) is used as it is considered a good trade-off between physical accuracy and computational efficiency [1]. The basis states for the PME are determined using a multi-band k·p Hamiltonian in order to account for the effects of band ...
متن کاملSimulation of Transport and Gain in Quantum Cascade Lasers
Quantum cascade lasers can be modeled within a hierarchy of different approaches: Standard rate equations for the electron densities in the levels, semiclassical Boltzmann equation for the microscopic distribution functions, and quantum kinetics including the coherent evolution between the states. Here we present a quantum transport approach based on nonequilibrium Green functions. This allows ...
