Abstract

The invention discloses a feedback type multi-pole quantum cascade ring laser. The laser comprises a substrate, a collector, a quantum cascade structure layer, a quantum energy level matching layer, abase and an emitter which are sequentially arranged from bottom to top, wherein stepped arrangement is formed between the emitter and the base and between the quantum cascade structure layer and thecollector; the laser further comprises a collector electrode arranged at the top of the collector electrode or below the substrate, a base electrode arranged at the top of the base electrode and an emitter electrode arranged at the top of the emitter electrode; an annular waveguide and a strip-shaped straight waveguide coupled with the annular waveguide are further etched on the laser, and the strip-shaped straight waveguide comprises a distributed feedback section and a coupling section. The laser is simple in design and good in tunability, can output multi-wavelength or wide-spectrum or chaotic laser or frequency comb, and can effectively reduce the application cost of mid-infrared and terahertz sources in wide mid-infrared and terahertz applications.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor lasers, in particular to a feedback multipole quantum cascade ring laser. Background technique [0002] Compared with the stimulated radiation transfer mechanism between the conduction band and the valence band of traditional quantum well lasers, quantum cascade lasers (Quantum Cascade Lasers, QCLs) have a unique cascade mechanism of transfer between subbands in the conduction band Instead, mid-infrared and terahertz band outputs can be generated directly. Compared with the existing mid-infrared and terahertz output generation methods, such as photoconductive mixing method, semiconductor built-in electric field method, optical rectification method, electro-optic sampling method, etc., the mid-infrared and terahertz output structure based on QCLs has conversion efficiency High, simple cavity structure, good on-chip integration, etc., are widely used in many civil and military applications in...
