Fig. 1. Emission spectra and power output of the DFG-QCL used in our study.

Fig. 1

(A and B) FTIR emission spectra of the two mid-IR pumps and the resulting THz DFG, collected at heat-sink temperatures (TH) of 65 K (A) and 85 K (B) in rapid-scan mode with a 0.125 cm−1 (3.75 GHz) spectral resolution, plotted as a function of the driving current. Identical colors in the mid-IR and THz spectra correspond to identical driving current conditions. (C) Current-voltage and light-current characteristics of the mid-IR pumps and THz DFG for the device operated in CW mode at 85 K.
