Quantum Cascade Lasers [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Today, 2014
This chapter describes the most commonly used approaches for computing the band structure of active materials with intersubband optical transitions. The physics of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) is discussed in detail, including the mechanisms that limit the threshold current density, threshold voltage, wall-plug efficiency, and temperature sensitivity ...

Quantum Cascade Laser Frequency Combs

open access: yesNanophotonics, 2016
It was recently demonstrated that broadband quantum cascade lasers can operate as frequency combs. As such, they operate under direct electrical pumping at both mid-infrared and THz frequencies, making them very attractive for dual-comb spectroscopy ...

Hydrodynamical model of QED cascade expansion in an extremely strong laser pulse

open access: yesMatter and Radiation at Extremes, 2021
The development of a self-sustained quantum electrodynamical (QED) cascade in a single strong laser pulse is studied analytically and numerically. A hydrodynamical approach is used to construct an analytical model of cascade evolution, which includes the

Monolithically Integrated Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Laser and Detector

open access: yesSensors, 2013
We demonstrate the monolithic integration of a mid-infrared laser and detector utilizing a bi-functional quantum cascade active region. When biased, this active region provides optical gain, while it can be used as a detector at zero bias. With our novel

Laser Feedback Interferometry as a Tool for Analysis of Granular Materials at Terahertz Frequencies: Towards Imaging and Identification of Plastic Explosives

open access: yesSensors, 2016
We propose a self-consistent method for the analysis of granular materials at terahertz (THz) frequencies using a quantum cascade laser. The method is designed for signals acquired from a laser feedback interferometer, and applied to non-contact ...
