摘要
We present efficient second-harmonic generation in state of the art GaAs-based quantum-cascade lasers with nonlinear output powers up to 100 mu W. The nonlinear output was significantly improved by applying an AlGaAs waveguide structure, which guides both, the fundamental and nonlinear light. We further show the influence of the doping in the active region on the nonlinear light generation by comparing two similar structures with different doping levels.
