  • Abstract
    We present a terahertz quantum cascade laser providing 875 mW two-facet output power in pulsed mode, at a frequency around 4.7 THz and at a heatsink temperature of 10 K. The laser has a single plasmon waveguide. The active region is based on four quantum wells with longitudinal optical phonon extraction.
