Colliding pulse mode locking of quantum cascade lasers
We study the possibility for ultrashort pulse generation from THz quantum cascade lasers via the colliding pulse mode locking technique. Our analysis shows that this approach could enable sub-ps pulses from QCLs, even in devices with carrier recovery times as short as ~ 10 ps.
