Coherence of resonant-tunneling transport in terahertz quantum-cascade lasers

We develop simple density-matrix models to describe the role of coherence in resonant-tunneling (RT) transport of quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs). Specifically, we investigate the effects of coherent coupling between the lasing levels with other levels on the transport properties and gain spectra. In...
