Quantum cascade laser roadmap

Carlo Silvestri, Aleksandar D. Rakić, Dragan Indjin +46

Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are unipolar semiconductor lasers first demonstrated in 1994. Since then, they have played a central role in advancing mid-infrared and terahertz phot…

Bridging mid and near infrared by combining optomechanics and self mixing

Tecla Gabbrielli, Chenghong Zhang, Francesco Cappelli +8

This work describes a self-mixing-assisted optomechanical platform for transferring information between near- and mid-infrared radiation. In particular, the self-mixing signal of a…

Retrieval of phase relation and emission profile of quantum cascade laser frequency combs

Francesco Cappelli, Luigi Consolino, Giulio Campo +12

The major development recently undergone by quantum cascade lasers has effectively extended frequency comb emission to longer-wavelength spectral regions, i.e. the mid and far infr…

Observing the intrinsic linewidth of a quantum-cascade laser: beyond the Schawlow-Townes limit

S. Bartalini, S. Borri, P. Cancio +6

A comprehensive investigation of the frequency-noise spectral density of a free-running mid-infrared quantum-cascade laser is presented for the first time. It provides direct evide…

Saturated-absorption cavity ring-down spectroscopy

G. Giusfredi, S. Bartalini, S. Borri +4

We report on a novel approach to cavity-ring-down spectroscopy with the sample gas in saturated-absorption regime. This technique allows to decouple and simultaneously retrieve emp…
