Nonrelevant quantum levels effecting on the current in 2-well terahertz quantum cascade lasers

Abstract Recent renewed operating temperatures in terahertz quantum cascade lasers emphasize on narrowing the periodic length in a 2-well resonant-phonon design for a clean quantum level structure, in which the depopulation energy is significantly higher than one longitudinal phonon. In this study,...
