Abstract
It has been found that noise-induced excitability in quantum well and quantum dot semiconductor laser systems usually produces spike patterns of non-uniform amplitude. In this letter, we experimentally record that an inter-subband quantum cascade laser injected with a monochromatic laser exhibits a series of highly-uniform spike trains in the time domain. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that such high uniformity has its origin in the ultrashort carrier lifetime of the quantum cascade laser gain medium that is typically close to one picosecond.
