Abstract:   (7900 Views)
We present an optimized design for GaAs/AlGaAs quantum cascade lasers operating at ‎‎4.1THz. This was based on a three-well active module with diagonal radiative transition. This ‎was performed by modifying the existing model structure, to reduce the parasitic anticrossings ‎‎(leakage currents) as well as the optical gain linewidth. While the gain FWHM was reduced by ‎more than 50% the gain peak was increased by about 23.3%.‎
Keywords: Quantum Cascade Laser , Resonant Tunneling Transport , Parasitic Current Channel
