High power terahertz quantum cascade laser
We present high power terahertz quantum laser at about 3 THz based on bound-to-continuum active region design. At 10 K, corrected by the collection efficiency, the maximum peak power of 137 mW is obtained in pulsed mode. What’s more, we firstly introduce monolithically integrated THz quantum cascade laser (QCL) array and the maximum peak power increased to 218 mW after correction. In total, the array shows better performance than single device, implying cheerful prospect.
