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…

Time-resolved spectroscopy of noise-driven collective states of light
Diego Piciocchi, Ina Heckelmann, Alexander Dikopoltsev +6
We study a collective liquid state of light in a fast-gain laser. Controlled temporal noise on the cavity modulation creates a fluctuating linear potential along the synthetic freq…
