  • Abstract
    We demonstrate a terahertz quantum cascade laser based on the aluminum-free In0.53Ga0.47As/GaAs0.51Sb0.49 material system. Processed in a double metal waveguide configuration, disk devices reach operating temperatures up to 105 K and the spectral emission lies between 3.6 and 4.1 THz.
