It should be possible to improve hot-hole laser performance by moving from bulk materials to a quantum well structure. The extra design parameters enable us to alter the band structure by changing the crystal orientation of the growth…

We analyze the main physical processes in quantum cascade lasers with spatial separation between the region of photon radiation and LO phonon emission providing depopulation of the lower level of the optical transition. Our purpose is to…

It was recently demonstrated that broadband quantum cascade lasers can operate as frequency combs. As such, they operate under direct electrical pumping at both mid-infrared and THz frequencies, making them very attractive for dual-comb…
