Second-Harmonic Emission from Quantum Cascade Lasers
The mid-infrared spectral region can be covered by quantum cascade (QC) semiconductor lasers, where the emission wavelength is tailored by bandstructure engineering. For a detailed review on QC lasers see Ref. [1]. Their emission energy is well below the band gaps of the hosting material system. Typical GaAs QC lasers operate in the mid-infrared regime with corresponding energies of ~100 meV, w...
متن کاملHeterogeneously Integrated Distributed Feedback Quantum Cascade Lasers on Silicon
Silicon integration of mid-infrared (MIR) photonic devices promises to enable low-cost, compact sensing and detection capabilities that are compatible with existing silicon photonic and silicon electronic technologies. Heterogeneous integration by bonding III-V wafers to silicon waveguides has been employed previously to build integrated diode lasers for wavelengths from 1310 to 2010 nm. Recent...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic spectroscopy with quantum cascade distributed-feedback lasers.
We present photoacoustic (PA) spectroscopy measurements of carbon dioxide, methanol, and ammonia. The light source for the excitation was a single-mode quantum cascade distributed-feedback laser, which was operated in pulsed mode at moderate duty cycle and slightly below room temperature. Temperature tuning resulted in a typical wavelength range of 3cm(-1)at a linewidth of 0.2cm(-1). The setup ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic tuning of distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers.
In this Letter, we report the tuning of the emission wavelength of a single mode distributed feedback quantum cascade laser by modifying the mode effective refractive index using fluids. A fabrication procedure to encapsulate the devices in polymers for microfluidic delivery is also presented. The integration of microfluidics with semiconductor laser (optofluidics) is promising for new compact ...
متن کاملPiezoacoustic modulation of gain and distributed feedback for quantum cascade lasers with widely tunable emission wavelength
Due to the piezoelectric properties of III–V materials, an acoustic wave propagating along the optical axis of a unipolar laser produces a periodic modulation of the carrier density and the optical gain, sufficient for providing distributed feedback ~DFB! with a mode suppression ratio exceeding 30 dB. In contrast to bipolar lasers, the piezoelectric modulation of unipolar carrier density is not...
