Investigating temperature degradation in THz quantum cascade lasers by examination of temperature dependence of output power

In this paper, we demonstrate a method to investigate the temperature degradation of THz quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) based on analyzing the dependence of lasing output power on temperature. The output power is suggested to decrease exponentially with some characteristic activation energy indicativ...
