We show that mid infrared transmission spectroscopy of a quantum cascade laser provides clear cut information on changes in charge location at different bias. Theoretical simulations of the evolution of the gain/absorption spectrum for the $lambda sim$ 7.4 $mu$m InGaAs/AlInAs/InP quantum cascade laser have been compared with the experimental findings. Transfer of electrons between the ground states in the active region and the states in the injector goes in hand with a decrease of discrete intersubband absorption peaks and an increase of broad high-energy absorption towards the continuum delocalised states above the barriers.

A model of sequential resonant tunneling transport between two-dimensional subbands that takes into account explicitly elastic scattering is investigated. It is compared to transport measurements performed on quantum cascade lasers where resonant tun
neling processes are known to be dominating. Excellent agreement is found between experiment and theory over a large range of current, temperature and device structures.
Resonant phonon depopulation terahertz quantum cascade lasers based on vertical and diagonal lasing transitions are systematically compared using a well established ensemble Monte Carlo approach. The analysis shows that for operating temperatures bel
ow 200 K, diagonal designs may offer superior temperature performance at lasing frequencies of about 3.5 THz and above; however, vertical structures are more advantageous for good temperature performance at lower frequencies.
Phase-locking an array of quantum cascade lasers is an effective way to achieve higher output power and beam shaping. In this article, based on Talbot effect, we show a new-type phase-locked array of mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers with an integr
ated spatial- filtering Talbot cavity. All the arrays show stable in-phase operation from the threshold current to full power current. The beam divergence of the array device is smaller than that of a single-ridge laser. We use the multi-slit Fraunhofer diffraction mode to interpret the far-field radiation profile and give a solution to get better beam quality. The maximum power is just about 5 times that of a single-ridge laser for eleven-laser array device and 3 times for seven-laser array device. Considering the great modal selection ability, simple fabricating process and the potential for achieving better beam quality and smaller cavity loss, this new-type phase-locked array may be a hopeful and elegant solution to get high power or beam shaping.
High performance of InP-based quantum cascade lasers emitting at $lambda$ ~ 9$mu$m are reported. Thick electroplated gold layer was deposited on top of the laser to improve heat dissipation. With one facet high reflection coated, the devices produce
a maximum output power of 175mW at 40% duty cycle at room temperature and continuous-wave operation up to 278K.
We derive a density matrix (DM) theory for quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) that describes the influence of scattering on coherences through a generalized scattering superoperator. The theory enables quantitative modeling of QCLs, including localization
and tunneling effects, using the well-defined energy eigenstates rather than the ad hoc localized basis states required by most previous DM models. Our microscopic approach to scattering also eliminates the need for phenomenological transition or dephasing rates. We discuss the physical interpretation and numerical implementation of the theory, presenting sets of both energy-resolved and thermally averaged equations which can be used for detailed or compact device modeling. We illustrate the theorys applications by simulating a high performance resonant-phonon terahertz (THz) QCL design which cannot be easily or accurately modeled using conventional DM methods. We show that the theorys inclusion of coherences is crucial for describing localization and tunneling effects consistent with experiment.
