Ultrabroadband Gain-Switched and Superluminescent Terahertz Semiconductor Lasers

Urban Senica, Michael A. Schreiber, Mattias Beck +3

Terahertz quantum cascade lasers (THz QCLs) are chip-scale semiconductor lasers operating in the frequency range between 1-6 THz, useful as compact sources for spectroscopy, commun…

Short period InGaAs/AlInAs THz quantum cascade laser in thin double metal cavities operating up to 188K

Sebastian Gloor, David Stark, Martin Frankié +4

We present a two-well terahertz (THz) quantum cascade laser designed for high temperature operation based on the InGaAs/AlInAs material system. The lighter effective mass and highe…

Gate-tunable single terahertz meta-atom ultrastrong light-matter coupling

Elsa Jöchl, Anna-Lydia Vieli, Lucy Hale +6

We study the electrical tunability of ultrastrong light-matter interactions between a single terahertz circuit-based complementary split ring resonator (cSRR) and a two-dimensional…

Multi-mode Deep Strong Coupling in a Multi Quantum Well Fabry-Perot Cavity

Lucy Hale, Johan Andberger, Ethan Koskas +4

We present multi-mode deep-strong coupling in a multi-quantum well (N=166) heterostructure. The heterostructure itself acts as a Fabry-Perot cavity, for which the even cavity modes…

Spectral shaping of fast-gain frequency combs through phases in synthetic dimensions

Diego Piciocchi, Alexander Dikopoltsev, Ina Heckelmann +3

Optical frequency comb devices have unlocked new capabilities in telecommunications, sensing, and metrology. Yet, precise in situ control of the comb spectral envelope remains extr…

Continuously tunable coherent pulse generation in semiconductor lasers

Urban Senica, Michael A. Schreiber, Paolo Micheletti +4

In a laser, the control of its spectral emission depends on the physical dimensions of the optical resonator, limiting it to a set of discrete cavity modes at specific frequencies.…

An antipodal Vivaldi antenna for improved far-field properties and polarization manipulation of broadband terahertz quantum cascade lasers

Urban Senica, Elena Mavrona, Tudor Olariu +5

We present an antipodal Vivaldi antenna for broadband double metal waveguide terahertz quantum cascade lasers and frequency combs. Its exponentially curved flare profile results in…

Negative free carrier absorption in terahertz quantum cascade lasers

C. Ndebeka-Bandou, M. Rösch, K. Ohtani +2

We analyze the peculiar case where the free carrier absorption arising from LO phonon absorption-assisted transitions becomes negative and therefore turns into a gain source for qu…

Quantum dot occupation and electron dwell time in the cotunneling regime

B. Küng, C. Rössler, M. Beck +3

We present comparative measurements of the charge occupation and conductance of a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot. The dot charge is measured with a capacitively coupled quantum point cont…
