摘要
En 中文
We describe the fabrication and operation of vertically emitting distributed feedback quantum cascade ring lasers operating in the terahertz frequency range. A twofold increase in radiation efficiency is observed as compared to Fabry-Perot lasers. The emitters exhibit a robust single-mode operation around 3.2 THz with a side mode suppression ratio higher than 30 dB. Modal and threshold characteristics are investigated by performing finite element simulations with results in good agreement with experiments. The ring-shaped resonator facilitates beam collimation which results in a symmetric far-field profile. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.3176966]
