Quantum Cascade Lasers

Quantum Cascade Lasers is a semiconductor laser device operating in the mid-infrared to terahertz spectrum that generates coherent light through unipolar electron transitions across multiple quantum well heterostructures engineered to enable photon emission at each cascade stage through intersubband transitions.
