Effect of oscillator strength and intermediate resonance on the performance of resonant phonon-based terahertz quantum cascade lasers

We experimentally investigated the effect of oscillator strength (radiative transition diagonality) on the performance of resonant phonon-based terahertz quantum cascade lasers that have been optimized using a simplified density matrix formalism. Our results show that the maximum lasing temperature...
