Domain formation and self-sustained oscillations in quantum cascade lasers
arXiv:1810.13207 · doi:10.1140/epjb/e2019-90636-6
Abstract
We study oscillations in quantum cascade lasers due to traveling electric field domains, which are observed both in simulations and experiments. These oscillations occur in a range of negative differential resistance and we clarify the condition determining whether the boundary between domains of different electric field can become stationary.
