Invited paper on tunable QC-lasers published in IEEE Journal of Microwaves
THz metasurface quantum-cascade VECSELs are emerging as broadly tunable single frequency sources of THz radiation in the 1.5-5 THz range, which can deliver output powers of milliwatts to tens of milliwatts, while exhibiting high-quality beam patterns. In this paper we...
