摘要
We report on the implementation of a terahertz two-photon quantum cascade laser operating in a continuous wave mode. Lasers that can emit two photons as a result of the relaxation of a single electron between two states of the same parity have been discussed since the early days of the laser era, but implementation has been hampered by the lack of a suitable gain medium. The semiconductor structure of a quantum cascade laser seems to be an ideal medium for realizing such two-photon emission. Our work demonstrates dual-band laser radiation in the range of 3.1-3.9 THz (104-130 cm(-1)) at temperatures up to 90 K.
