KeywordsTHz-QCL / THz / QCL / 1.8THz / laser / quantumn well / GaAs/AlGaAs / terahertz
Outline of Research at the Start

A new design of active region by using indirect injection scheme is proposed to lift up the operating temperature of low-frequency THz-QCLs in real applications.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

1.Full theory quantum transport based on non-equilibrium Green’s function is packaged as a simulation platform, to predict the quantum transport in terahertz quantum cascade laser. 2.Improved technique in GaAs/Al0.2Ga0.8As quantum well with 1200 stacked layers is shown .By employing an latest Cu-Cu metals waveguide processing, the lasing of 1.8THz at 185K is achieved.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

Terahertz wave has many new applications in chemical and medical. This study is to develop a terahertz wave source based on quantum cascade laser using GaAs semiconductor quantum wells.
