Double longitudinal-optical phonon intrawell depopulated terahertz quantum cascade structures: Electron transport modeling using a density matrix method

Will Freeman

Summary: Theoretical studies on Terahertz quantum cascade structures using double longitudinal-optical phonon intrawell scattering for depopulation have shown that greater depopulation transitions result in reduced phonon absorption thermal backscatter, enabling higher operating temperatures and potential for room temperature operation above 300K. Results also suggest that improving depopulation transitions can enhance temperature limits in single phonon structures.

Summary: Terahertz frequencies are underutilized due to the lack of powerful and compact sources, but the invention of THz quantum cascade lasers has helped bridge this gap and expand potential applications. However, the technology is still limited by demanding cooling requirements, restricting its practical use outside of laboratory settings.
