Quantum cascade laser roadmap
Carlo Silvestri, Aleksandar D. RakiÄ, 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…
Bridging mid and near infrared by combining optomechanics and self mixing
Tecla Gabbrielli, Chenghong Zhang, Francesco Cappelli +8
This work describes a self-mixing-assisted optomechanical platform for transferring information between near- and mid-infrared radiation. In particular, the self-mixing signal of a…
Electron-to-photon noise transfer in mid-infrared semiconductor lasers
Irene La Penna, Tecla Gabbrielli, Borislav Hinkov +8
Noise characteristics of state-of-the art light sources are crucial parameters in understanding their limitations towards quantum applications. This work describes a method to stud…
Frequency and intensity noise of a grating-tuned external-cavity quantum cascade laser
Irene La Penna, Tecla Gabbrielli, Cristina Rimoldi +6
Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are semiconductor-heterostructure devices known for their emission in the mid-infrared and THz spectral regions. Due to their operating regime, their…
Self-mixing-based photoacoustic sensing
Tecla Gabbrielli, Jacopo Pelini, Chenhong Zhang +7
Versatile, ultracompact, easy-to-handle, high-sensitivity sensors are compelling tools for in situ pivotal applications, such as medical diagnostics, security and safety assessment…
Free-space time-bin encoded quantum key distribution from near- to mid-infrared wavelengths
Claudia De Lazzari, Tecla Gabbrielli, Natalia Bruno +9
Quantum technologies play a central role in establishing new ways of quantum-secured communication. We investigate Free-Space Quantum Communication and explore the advantage of imp…
