static properties, relatively intensity noise and intensity modulation response in quantum cascade lasers (qcls) studied theoretically in this paper. the present rate equations model consists of three equations for the electrons density in the conduction band and one equation for photons density in cavity length. two equations were derived to calculate the noise and modulation response. calcula...

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...

Device-performances of 3.7 THz indirect-pumping quantumcascade lasers are demonstrated in an InGaAs/InAlAs material system grown by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. The lasers show a low threshold-current-density of ~420 A/cm and a peak output power of ~8 mW at 7 K, no sign of parasitic currents with recourse to well-designed coupled-well injectors in the indirect pump scheme, and a maximum o...

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...
