External amplitude and frequency modulation of a terahertz quantum cascade laser using metamaterial/graphene devices

Abstract Active control of the amplitude and frequency of terahertz sources is an essential prerequisite for exploiting a myriad of terahertz applications in imaging, spectroscopy, and communications. Here we present a optoelectronic, external modulation technique applied to a terahertz quantum casc...
