Terahertz Lasers Based on Intersubband Transitions
Semiconductor quantum wells are human-made quantum mechanical systems in which the energy levels can be designed and engineered to be of any value. Consequently, unipolar lasers based on intersubband transitions (electrons that make lasing transitions between subband levels within the conduction band) were proposed for long-wavelength sources as early as the 1970s. However, because of the great...
متن کاملIntersubband spectroscopy probing higher order interminiband transitions in AlN-GaN-based superlattices
We investigate midinfrared intersubband photodetectors based on short-period AlN/GaN superlattices with different quantum well thicknesses. Band structure calculations, as well as optical transmission and photovoltage measurements, underline the importance of higher order interminiband transitions. In particular, it was found that optical transitions between the second and third minibands benef...
متن کاملUltrafast photon drag detector for intersubband spectroscopy
The photon drag effect of a 2D electron gas is measured using the ps infrared pulses of the wavelength-tunable free electron laser source FELIX. The pulsed photon drag response is found to depend critically on the coupling characteristics of the electrical circuit. We therefore developed an impedance and velocity matched photon drag detector. It consists of a GaAs/ AlGaAs multi quantum well sam...
متن کاملTemperature stability of intersubband transitions in AlN/GaN quantum wells
Temperature dependence of intersubband transitions in AlN/GaN multiple quantum wells grown with molecular beam epitaxy is investigated both by absorption studies at different temperatures and modeling of conduction-band electrons. For the absorption study, the sample is heated in increments up to 400◦C. The self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson modeling includes temperature effects of the band-ga...
متن کاملQuantum Well Intersubband Transitions as a Source of Terahertz Radiation
| It is shown that unipolar quantum well systems have potential as sources of terahertz radiation. It is demonstrated that the electronic interactions within these systems must be manipulated in order to favour radiative emission rather than non-radiative loss. Designs are advanced for tunable emitters and optically excited terahertz lasers.
