Imaging at 3.4 Thz with a quantum-cascade laser.
We have assembled a single-frequency imaging system at 3.4 THz with a quantum-cascade laser. Images of electronic and biological applications are demonstrated. We operate the laser with a peak output power of 2.5 mW at a 7% duty cycle and a 22 K operating temperature. The minimum spot size is 340 microm. The signal is detected with a single-element deuterated triglycine sulfate detector, and images are captured by scanning of the sample.

Application of terahertz quantum-cascade lasers to semiconductor cyclotron resonance.
Quantum-cascade lasers operating at 4.7, 3.5, and 2.3 THz have been used to achieve cyclotron resonance in InAs and InSb quantum wells from liquid-helium temperatures to room temperature. This represents one of the first spectroscopic applications of terahertz quantum-cascade lasers. Results show that these compact lasers are convenient and reliable sources with adequate power and stability for this type of far-infrared magneto-optical study of solids. Their compactness promises interesting future applications in solid-state spectroscopy.
