We just published a new article on Scientific Reports: Hyperuniform disordered terahertz quantum cascade laser, by R. Degl’Innocenti et al.
Shaping and controlling light emission from a QCL is still relevant for the development of applications based on THz spectroscopy and to devise novel kind of devices for photonics and optomechanics. Moreover, exotic statistical regimes can be explored, where the laser can be built through an assembly of scatterer arranged in ordered or disordered/random fashion. In particular, here we show how a hyperuniform distribution, in-between random and periodic systems, can reveal interesting properties of optoelectronics performances of a QCL.
