A terahertz quantum cascade laser based on a single quantum well active region is reported. It displays laser action at 3.74 THz with low threshold current densities around 30 A/cm(2). Analysis of the optical and electrical characteristics and their comparison with a transport model based on a density matrix approach clearly demonstrate the role of resonant tunneling for both injection and extraction of the electrons from the upper and lower states of the laser transition.
