摘要：

In this work, we conduct research of spectral and power characteristics of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) based on a GaAs/Al0.15Ga0.85As active region emitting at 2.3 (A), 3.2 (B) and 4.1 (C) THz. The QCL devices had a double-metal Au waveguide and operated in pulsed mode with 1.5-9 mu s pulses at 20 Hz repetition rate. Using the integral output power curves measured with different pulse durations, we consider the potential mechanisms of QCL temperature degradation using Arrhenius plots. Moreover, we present the spectra of the lasers measured at fixed operating points for devices A, C and with current scanning for device B in a wide temperature range from 5 to 120 K. We hope that our results will prove useful for research concerning QCL maximum operating temperatures.
