用有限元法计算太赫兹量子级联激光器激光模式的阈值增益.结果表明:接触层厚度和掺杂浓度对阈值增益的影响远远大于波导宽度和激射波长;接触层厚度较小(大)和掺杂浓度较低(高)时,TM1(TM0)模的阈值增益较小.在此基础上,用矢量衍射理论分析岀射光束的远场特性,得到光束的远场光斑基本是椭圆;x方向的远场散射角随波导宽度或激射波长的增加分别线性减小或增加,尽管对应的接触层厚度和掺杂浓度不同,但TM0和TM1模x方向的远场散射角相同;另外,还得到y方向远场散射角不受波导宽度或少受激射波长的影响.在阈值增益和光束质量方面,TM1模都优于TM0模. 相似文献

群速度色散会限制太赫兹量子级联激光器频率梳的稳定以及频谱宽度.对于太赫兹量子级联激光器频率梳,其色散主要由器件增益、波导损耗、材料损耗引起.研究基于4.2 THz量子级联激光器双面金属波导结构,通过建立德鲁德模型,利用有限元法计算了激光器的波导损耗;器件未钳制的增益由费米黄金定则计算得到,结合增益钳制效应,计算了器件子带电子跃迁吸收以及镜面损耗,得到了器件钳制后的增益;利用Kramers-Kronig关系得到了器件的增益、波导损耗、材料损耗引起的色散,结果表明器件的激射区域存在非常严重的色散(–8×10~5—8×10~5 fs~2/mm).同时,计算了一种基于Gires-Tournois干涉仪结构的色散,结果表明,该结构的色散具有周期性,可以用于太赫兹量子级联激光器的色散补偿. 相似文献

We report on a new design of terahertz quantum cascade laser based on a single, potential‐inserted quantum well active region. The quantum well properties are engineered through single monolayer InAs inserts. The modeling is based on atomistic, spds* tight‐binding calculations, and performances are compared to that of the classical three‐well design. We obtain a 100% increase of the oscillator strength per unit length, while maintaining a high, nearly temperature‐independent contrast between phonon‐induced relaxation times of the upper and lower lasing states. The improved performances are expected to allow THz lasing at room temperature. 相似文献

利用热力学统计理论和激光器输出特性理论,建立了太赫兹量子级联激光器(THz QCL)有源区中上激发态电子往更高能级电子态泄漏的计算模型,以输出功率度量电子泄漏程度研究分析了晶格温度和量子阱势垒高度对电子泄漏的影响.数值仿真结果表明,晶格温度上升会加剧电子泄漏,并且电子从上激发态泄漏到束缚态的数量大于泄漏到阱外连续态,同时温度的上升也会降低激光输出功率.增加量子阱势垒高度能抑制电子泄漏,并且有源区量子阱结构中存在一个最优量子阱势垒高度. THz QCL经过最优量子阱势垒高度优化后,工作温度得到提升,其输出功率相比于以往的结果也有所提高.研究结果对优化THz QCL有源区结构、抑制电子泄漏和改善激光器输出特性有指导作用. 相似文献

We demonstrate continuous-wave(CW) high power-efficiency terahertz quantum cascade laser based on semiinsulating surface-plasmon waveguide with epitaxial-side down(Epi-down) mounting process.The performance of the device is analyzed in detail.The laser emits at a frequency of ~3.27 THz and has a maximum CW operating temperature of ~ 70 K.The peak output powers are 177 mW in pulsed mode and 149 mW in CW mode at 10 K for 130-μm-wide Epi-down mounted lasers.The record wall-plug efficiencies in direct measurement are 2.26% and 2.05% in pulsed and CW mode,respectively. 相似文献

We demonstrate an external-cavity (EC) beam combining of 4-channel quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with an output coupler which makes different QCL beams propagating coaxially. A beam combining efficiency of 35% (up to 75% near threshold) is obtained with a beam quality M2 of 5.5. A peak power of 0.64 W is achieved at a wavelength of 4.7 μm. The differences of spot characteristic between coupled and uncoupled are also showed in this letter. The QCLs in this EC system do not have heat crosstalk so that the system can be used for high power beam combining of QCLs. 相似文献

A strain-compensated InP-based quantum cascade laser(QCL) structure emitting at 4.6 μm is demonstrated,based on a two-phonon resonant design and grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy(MBE).By optimizing the growth parameters,a very high quality heterostructure with the lowest threshold current densities ever reported for QCLs was fabricated.Threshold current densities as low as 0.47 kA/cm~2 in pulsed operation and 0.56 kA/cm~2 in continuous-wave(cw) operation at 293 K were achieved for this state-of-the-art QCL.A minimum power consumption of 3.65 W was measured for the QCL,uncooled,with a high-reflectivity(HR) coating on its rear facet. 相似文献

A review is presented of work over the last 10 years which has been aimed at trying to produce a Si‐based THz quantum cascade laser. Potential THz applications and present THz sources will be briefly discussed before the materials issues with the Si/SiGe system is discussed. Waveguide designs and waveguide losses will be presented. Experimental measurements of the non‐radiative lifetimes for intersubband transitions in Si1‐xGex quantum wells will be presented along with theory explaining the important scattering mechanisms which determine the lifetimes. Examples of p‐type Si/SiGe quantum cascade designs with the experimental electroluminescence will be reviewed and examples of n‐type Si‐based designs will be presented. In the conclusion designs and structures will be discussed with the greatest potential to achieve an electrically pumped Si‐based THz laser. 相似文献
