X-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopic measurements show the high crystalline quality of the THz QCL active region, From the cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy image, sharp interfaces are observed and the deduced cascade period thickness is consistent with the result of x-ray diffraction. The test device is lasing at 3.39THz and operating up to lOOK in pulsed mode. At IOK, the maximum output power is greater than 1 mW with a threshold current density of 738 A/cm^2.展开更多
