报告摘要：
Since the first demonstration in 1994, quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs), a type of nanoscale semiconductor lasers, have become one of the most important solid-state mid-infrared (MIR) coherent light sources for various applications in environment sensing, medical diagnosis, and defense and free-space communication. The dynamics analysis and stable pulse progression of MIR QCLs are crucial for QCLs to have reliable performance in these applications. An explicit description of dynamics of QCLs is inevitably complicated when compared to conventional lasers due to the unique combination of ultrafast carrier scatterings and gain recovery, giant nonlinearities and dispersion effects in a QCL medium.
In this talk, we will present a comprehensive modeling strategy for dynamic behaviors in MIR QCLs. The model is built based on the Maxwell-Bloch formulism accounting for all the aforementioned physical phenomena in a typical QCL medium. The QCL pulse evolution is numerically simulated by the finite difference method with prior nondimensionalization treatment, which is necessary for the convergence of solutions. Results obtained bring insights into the individual effect from each physical phenomenon on the QCL pulse progression as well as the interplay among various phenomena. In addition, we investigated the influence of cavity configurations on QCL dynamic behaviors by applying the model on two most important types of QCL cavities, i.e., the ring cavity and the Fabry-Perot cavity. Outcomes from this research could provide design guidance on the lasing pulse shortening and spectrum bandwidth control of MIR QCLs for various applications.
