摘要
Three dimensional chemical and structural information from an Al0.25Ga0.75As/GaAs terahertz quantum cascade laser heterostructure obtained by atom probe tomography is used to demonstrate the impact of diffusion-induced chemical roughening of the AlGaAs barrier layers on the optoelectronic characteristics of the laser by recalculating the band structure of the QCL and comparing the relevant parameters with the ones from the nominal structure and finally an optimized structure is proposed.
