Ground state terahertz quantum cascade lasers

A terahertz quantum cascade laser (THz QCL) architecture is presented in which only the ground state subbands of each quantum well are involved in the transport and lasing transition. Compared to state-of-the art THz QCLs based on the resonant-phonon scheme, ground stateQCLs employ narrower wells so...
