摘要：
The use of integrated photonic structures to tailor the behavior of light is extremely promising for optimizing performance and for introducing advanced functionalities into optoelectronic devices. We demonstrate a powerful method based on photonic-band engineering which allows the optimization of the resonator quality factors of devices operating on band-edge photonic-crystal states. We also show that carefully designed pi-shifts in two-dimensional photonic-resonators give enhanced beam properties. The application of these general techniques to terahertz quantum cascade lasers yields improved maximum operating temperatures, and angularly narrow, single-lobed surface emission of approximate to 12 degrees x8 degrees. The devices operate at approximate to 2.8/2.9 THz, with peak output powers of 5 mW at 78 K.
