研究目的
Investigating the fabrication of high power terahertz quantum cascade lasers (THz QCLs) and their application in high-resolution digital holographic imaging.
研究成果
The fabrication of high power THz QCLs at 4.4 THz with a maximum output power of 95mW and a working temperature up to 80 K was demonstrated. The application in a home-built digital holographic imaging system achieved a lateral resolution of 80μm, close to the system's intrinsic limit. This advancement is significant for the application of THz imaging systems.
