Bose-Einstein condensation of THz photons in an optical microcavity with Landau-quantized electrons
arXiv:2412.18352 · doi:10.1103/mhkt-4l4h
Abstract
We present a theoretical model for a coherent terahertz radiation source based on Bose-Einstein condensate of incoherently pumped microcavity photons. Energy relaxation is provided by inelastic photon scattering on a two-dimensional electron gas in magnetic field. The proposed setup evades the standard lasing mechanisms: neither population inversion nor light wave amplification is utilized. We study the kinetics of photon condensation and describe a semiconductor-crystal based device.
