Influence of disorder and a parallel magnetic field on a Quantum Cascade Laser

Abstract

The luminescence spectra of a quantum cascade laser in a strong magnetic field is influenced significantly by the presence of disorder (charged or neutral) in the system. An externally applied magnetic field parallel to the electron plane causes a red shift of the luminescence peak in the absence of any disorder potential. Our results indicate that the disorder potential tends to cancel that red shift and causes a rapid decrease of the luminescence peak. A similar behavior was observed in a recent experiment on QCL in a parallel magnetic field.
