Quantum cascade lasers as broadband sources via strong RF modulation

In this work, we demonstrate that in a regime of strong modulation, by generating pulses of the length of the order of a few cavity lifetimes (hundreds of ps), a broadband quantum cascade laser can be driven to lase on a bandwidth (250 cm−1) limited by the gain. In addition, the amplitude noise of t...
