Abstract :
This article discusses about material and device-design considerations for extending semiconductor lasers to the tetrahertz regime. Semiconductor-based laser sources have recently become available in the THz regime using a quantum cascade laser design. A new set of device structures based on a semiconductor quantum dot gain medium is discussed.
