متن کاملIntegrated injection seeded terahertz source and amplifier for time-domain spectroscopy.
We used a terahertz (THz) quantum cascade laser (QCL) as an integrated injection seeded source and amplifier for THz time-domain spectroscopy. A THz input pulse is generated inside a QCL by illuminating the laser facet with a near-IR pulse from a femtosecond laser and amplified using gain switching. The THz output from the QCL is found to saturate upon increasing the amplitude of the THz input ...
متن کاملOn-chip terahertz spectroscopic techniques for measuring mesoscopic quantum systems.
We present the self-aligned fabrication of on-chip devices in which waveguides, incorporating integrated photoconductive switches, are combined with two-dimensional electron systems to allow probing of the ultrafast (terahertz frequency range) properties of confined semiconductor systems, both at cryogenic temperatures and in high magnetic fields. We demonstrate the direct injection of on-chip ...
متن کاملCoupling terahertz radiation between sub-wavelength metal-metal waveguides and free space using monolithically integrated horn antennae.
Broadband horn antennae are presented that efficiently couple terahertz radiation between sub-wavelength metal-metal waveguides and free space. Sub-picosecond terahertz pulses were coupled into and out from sub-wavelength parallel-plate waveguides by using the horn antennae in a terahertz time-domain spectrometer. Monolithic antennae were fabricated at the facets of metal-metal terahertz quantu...
متن کاملMode-locking of a terahertz laser by direct phase synchronization.
A novel scheme to achieve mode-locking of a multimode laser is demonstrated. Traditional methods to produce ultrashort laser pulses are based on modulating the cavity gain or losses at the cavity roundtrip frequency, favoring the pulsed emission. Here, we rather directly act on the phases of the modes, resulting in constructive interference for the appropriated phase relationship. This was perf...
