Mid-Infrared Quantum-Dot Quantum Cascade Laser: A Theoretical Feasibility Study

In the framework of a microscopic model for intersubband gain from electrically pumped quantum-dot structures we investigate electrically pumped quantum-dots as active material for a mid-infrared quantum cascade laser. Our previous calculations have indicated that these structures could operate with...
