We observe the first evidence of self-mixing in THz frequency quantum cascade random lasers fabricated in both wire and irregularly squared resonator architectures with surface photonic patterns. By reflecting the emitted light back into the laser cavity and changing the external cavity length, we observe the interference fringes within the laser cavity, thereby proving evidence of self-mixing. This paves the way to detectorless speckle-free imaging applications in the far-infrared.

Abstract
We observe the first evidence of self-mixing in THz frequency quantum cascade random lasers fabricated in both wire and irregularly squared resonator architectures with surface photonic patterns. By reflecting the emitted light back into the laser cavity and changing the external cavity length, we observe the interference fringes within the laser cavity, thereby proving evidence of self-mixing. This paves the way to detectorless speckle-free imaging applications in the far-infrared.File in questo prodotto:
