An ensemble Monte Carlo method; including electron-phonon; electron-electron; electron-impurity scatterings and the hot phonon effect; is used to simulate the carrier transport and output characteristics of a lasing terahertz quantum cascade laser. A simulated I-V curve fits well with the measurement at the lasing domain. Extracted output characteristics; e.g; the gain; threshold current density; and threshold bias; are in good agreement with the experimental results. All the above indicate that the proposed Monte Carlo model is a useful tool for investigating the physical characteristics of terahertz quantum cascade lasers; as well as for analyzing and optimizing device performances. © 2008 American Institute of Physics;
