Terahertz waveform synthesis in integrated thin-film lithium niobate platform

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus, Jérôme Faist, Francesca Fabiana Settembrini

Bridging the "terahertz gap" relies upon synthesizing arbitrary waveforms in the terahertz domain enabling applications that require both narrow band sources for sensing and few-cycle drives for classical and quantum objects. However, realization of custom ...

Glass-in-glass infiltration for 3D micro-optical composite components

Andreas Mortensen, Yves Bellouard, Jérôme Faist, Gözden Torun, Enrico Casamenti, Luciano Borasi, Mathieu Bertrand

Chalcogenide glass exhibits a wide transmission window in the infrared range, a high refractive index, and nonlinear optical properties; however, due to its poor mechanical properties and low chemical and environmental stability, producing three-dimensiona ...

Roadmap on multimode light shaping

Tobias Kippenberg, Jérôme Faist, Marco Piccardo

Our ability to generate new distributions of light has been remarkably enhanced in recent years. At the most fundamental level, these light patterns are obtained by ingeniously combining different electromagnetic modes. Interestingly, the modal superpositi ...

Interaction between meta-materials and shallow donors in bulk GaN at THz frequency

Nicolas Grandjean, Etienne François Olivier Giraud, Jérôme Faist

We report the coupling and interaction between shallow donors and microcavities in bulk GaN at THz frequencies. At 4K, the shallow donors lead to an absorption at 23.5 meV (5.7 THz) under optical pumping above the bandgap of GaN. The microcavities are base ...

Continuous-wave vertically emitting photonic crystal terahertz laser

Romuald Houdré, Jérôme Faist, Zhaolu Diao, Christopher Bonzon

Compact semiconductor light sources with high performance continuous-wave (CW) and single mode operation are highly demanded for many applications in the terahertz (THz) frequency range. Distributed feedback (DFB) and photonic crystal (PhC) quantum cascade ...

Investigation of coherent acoustic phonons in terahertz quantum cascade laser structures using femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Pascal Gallo, Jérôme Faist

The dynamics of acoustic vibrations in terahertz quantum cascade laser structures (THz-QCLs) is studied by means of femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The phonon modes are characterized by the folding of the acoustic dispersion into an effective reduced ...

Photocurrent spectroscopy of site-controlled pyramidal quantum dots

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Benjamin Dwir, Pascal Gallo, Jérôme Faist, Arun Mohan

Intraband photocurrent spectroscopy of site-controlled pyramidal quantum dots by inserting them into the intrinsic region of n-i-n like quantum dot infrared photodetector structure is reported. The photovoltaic response is observed in the mid-infrared regi ...

Surface emitting Terahertz Photonic Crystal Quantum Cascade Laser realized by Bragg boundary condition

Romuald Houdré, Jérôme Faist, Zhaolu Diao, Christopher Bonzon

We theoretically and experimentally investigate a band edge Photonic Crystal (PhC) Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) operating at 3.1 THz. The surface emission is achieved by using a second-order Bragg grating at the PhC tile boundaries. Highly directional surfa ...

Complex-coupled photonic crystal THz lasers with independent loss and refractive index modulation

Romuald Houdré, Hua Zhang, Jérôme Faist

Compared to near infra-red photonic crystal (PhC) band-edge lasers, achieving vertical emission with quantum cascade (QC) material operating in the THz range needs dedicated engineering because the TM polarized emission of QCLs favors in-plane emitting sch ...

Design and fabrication technology for high performance electrical pumped terahertz photonic crystal band edge lasers with complete photonic band gap

Romuald Houdré, Hua Zhang, Jérôme Faist

We detail the design and fabrication technology of two-dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) band edge emitting quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) operating at terahertz frequencies (similar to 3.3 THz). The entire QCL active layer has been deeply etched to form a ...
