We study the rapid decrease of peak gain in resonant-phonon terahertz quantum cascade lasers with increasing temperature. The effect of various microscopic scattering processes on the gain profile as a function of temperature is discussed. We argue that increased broadening, primarily due to increased impurity scattering, and not diminishing population inversion, is the main reason for the reduction of peak gain.
