Abstract :
Recent progress in the design and realization of quantum cascade lasers emitting at THz frequencies will be discussed. High temperature and high power operation are reported and broadband emitters are discussed. THz lasers oscillating in micro-resonators with extremely small modal volumes will be also presented.
