Amplified Feedback and Spontaneous Emission Injection in Quantum Cascade Ring Laser Systems

Radhika R. Bhuckory, Sara Kacmoli, Deborah L. Sivco +1

Ring lasers exhibit rich operational regimes such as unidirectional, bidirectional, or bistable operation. The two-mode dynamics of the counter-propagating modes - clockwise (CW) a…

Hole-Based Stealthy Hyperuniform Semiconductor Metamaterials for the Mid-Infrared

Manuel Gallego, Sara Kacmoli, Yezhezi Zhang +2

Stealthy hyperuniform heterostructures are a novel type of metamaterial with the potential for optical image processing at angles away from normal incidence. These metamaterials sh…

Unidirectional mode selection in bistable quantum cascade ring lasers

Sara Kacmoli, Deborah L. Sivco, Claire F. Gmachl

Ideal ring resonators are characterized by travelling-wave counterpropagating modes, but in practice travelling waves can only be realized under unidirectional operation, which has…
