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…
Profiling THz Beams With Off-Label Use of Infrared Microbolometric Cameras
Gabriel Nagamine, Carlo Vicario, Tariq Leinen +6
Visualizing the spatial profile of light beams is essential for evaluating irradiance, characterizing beam quality, and achieving precise alignment. In the optical spectral range,…
Absence of a Superradiant Phase Transition in Dirac Landau Polaritons
Elsa Jöchl, Felix Helmrich, Frieder Lindel +6
One of the most striking predictions in cavity quantum electrodynamics is the condensation of photons into a macroscopically populated ground state, the so-called superradiant phas…
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…
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…
