THz time-domain characterization of amplifying quantum-cascade metasurface

Yue Shen et al.

Summary: An amplifying quantum-cascade (QC) metasurface, a key component of the QC vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting-laser (VECSEL), was studied using reflection-mode terahertz time domain spectroscopy. Perfect absorption at zero bias, increase in reflectance with bias, and significant phase modulation associated with metasurface resonance were observed. The results provide insight into the interaction between intersubband QC-gain material and metasurface, and modify the design rules for biased and unbiased QC-VECSELs.

Monolithic Patch-Antenna THz Lasers with Extremely Low Beam Divergence and Polarization Control

Joel Perez-Urquizo et al.

Summary: Patch antenna arrays have a significant impact on modern telecommunications in the RF range, while there is a growing demand for similar monolithic platforms for terahertz emitters. The use of microcavities with precise control of emission through interconnections introduces advanced functionalities for polarization control and beam steering.

Thin THz QCL active regions for improved continuous-wave operating temperature

Christopher A. Curwen et al.

Summary: By comparing the performance of 10 and 5 micrometer thick metal-metal waveguide terahertz quantum-cascade laser ridges, it was found that the 5 micron thick material has a higher continuous wave operating temperature and is becoming increasingly important in emerging designs.
