MEMS-based tunable terahertz wire-laser over 330 GHz

We demonstrate continuous tuning of a terahertz quantum cascade wire laser over a broad range of ~ 330 GHz ( ~ 8.6% of the 3.85 THz center frequency) with single-mode operation. Tuning is achieved with a narrow laser ridge ( ~ λ[subscript o]/8 ) and a moveable MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) s...
