Dynamically reconfigurable THz quantum walk comb laser through subharmonic excitation

Valerio Digiorgio, Robert Matthew Gray, Marco Raffa +5

On-chip frequency combs are increasingly relevant to both laser science and applications. Broad bandwidths and flat-top spectral envelopes are especially desirable for precision sp…

Amplitude- and frequency-modulated combs from an actively locked metasurface external-cavity laser

Marco Raffa, Jordane Bloomfield, Yu Wu +5

The paper demonstrates a THz metasurface VECSEL that can be actively switched between amplitude-modulated (mode-locked) pulses and frequency-modulated quantum-walk comb states usin…

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…

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…

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…
