Over the past decade, the demonstration of frequency combs has been reported in a wide
range of quantum cascade lasers. These combs have huge potential in applications …

Terahertz (THz) radiation encompasses a wide spectral range within the electromagnetic
spectrum that extends from microwaves to the far infrared (100 GHz–∼ 30 THz). Within its …

Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) represent the most fascinating achievement of quantum
engineering, showing how artificial materials can be generated through quantum design …

The generation of stable trains of ultrashort (femtosecond to picosecond), terahertz-
frequency radiation pulses with large instantaneous intensities is an underlying requirement …

Recently, there has been a growing interest in integrated THz photonics for various
applications in communications, spectroscopy and sensing. We present a new integrated …

The dynamics of semiconductor lasers with fast gain is generally considered to suppress
amplitude modulation, resulting in a frequency‐modulated output. Since their first …

Even though already in the seventies, right after the invention of the quantum cascade laser
(QCL) concept, it was argued that this device could be operated in the THz (far-infrared) …

Chip‐scale, electrically‐pumped terahertz (THz) frequency‐combs (FCs) rely on nonlinear
four‐wave‐mixing processes, and have a nontrivial phase relationship between the evenly …

Dual-comb interferometry is based on self-heterodyning two optical frequency combs, with
corresponding map** of the optical spectrum into the radio-frequency domain. The dual …

An electrically switchable graphene terahertz (THz) modulator with a tunable‐by‐design
optical bandwidth is presented and it is exploited to compensate the cavity dispersion of a …
