Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) are semiconductor lasers that, in contrast to common diode lasers, operate on intersubband transitions in the conduction band of the materials
Quantum mechanical selection rules dictate that laser light generated by a QCL must be polarized along the growth direction of the superlattice in the laser
The Lattice Constant of a semiconductor describes the spacing (in angstroms) of the atoms in the semiconductor crystal of that material. Growing different semiconductor material
