Optical sidebands are generated by difference frequency mixing between a resonant bandgap near-infrared beam and a terahertz (THz) wave. This is realized within the cavity of a THz quantum cascade laser using resonantly enhanced non-linearities. Multiple order optical sidebands and conversion efficiencies up to 0.1% are shown.
In this paper, the influence of the simplifications made in the four-equation-based set of rate equations describing the dynamic behavior of a quantum cascade laser (QCL) is studied. Numerical simulations based on the set of four rate equations has been developed, enabling the theoretical study of the influence of different parameters on the direct modulation response of the laser. These equations...
We report on the high frequency modulation of terahertz (THz) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). By resonantly enhancing the frequency response of the RF biasing circuit we show that 4 mm and 1.5 mm-long metal-metal waveguide 2.3 THz QCLs, can be modulated up to 21 and 24 GHz respectively.
We developed a three terminal mid-infrared quantum cascade laser. The third terminal allows one to electrically modulate the optical losses and thus the laser output-independently of the laser's driving current.
Recent results are presented on the non-linear intra-cavity up-conversion in the telecom range and the microwave modulation of THz quantum cascade lasers.
