Abstract
Due to their long emission wavelength and their electrically pumped nature, terahertz (THz) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) offer an ideal platform for investigating novel photonic and plasmonic concepts. The unipolar operation principle enables the realization of virtually arbitrary resonator geometries since non radiative surface recombination processes are not influencing the laser characteristics. Furthermore, the long emission wavelength enables to conveniently fabricate resonators using standard microelectronic processing techniques with high precision.
