Catastrophic Optical Damage Mitigation in Quantum Cascade Lasers by Facet Disordering
SBC: N2 Biomedical, LLC Topic: N19AT004Quantum cascade laser optical output power is limited by laser facet catastrophic optical damage (COD). In edge-emitting semiconductor lasers COD is a thermal runaway process wherein the front facet of the laser heats under high power operation. This facet heating reduces the semiconductor bandgap which increases the optical absorption and also increases the electrical injection current in the fac ...
