SBIR/STTR
Monolithic, Widely Tunable, THz Local Oscillator, Phase I
Project Introduction
This proposal describes development of a new type of quantum-cascade laser for use as a local oscillator at frequencies above 2 THz. The THz source described is a single chip solution that operates at room temperature. In addition, a mechanism for wide tuning (2-4.7 THz) is described that requires no moving parts.
