- W112144653 abstract "Modulation and switching of semiconductor lasers are important for laser-based information technology. Typically the speed of modulation and switching is limited by interband processes such as stimulated and spontaneous recombinations which occur on a nanosecond time scale. This is why the diode laser modulation has been restricted to tens of GHz. Modulation at higher speed is highly desirable as the information technology enters into the so-called tera-era. In this paper, we study the possibility of utilizing THz-field-induced plasma heating to modulate quantum-well lasers. This is a timely study since, with the advancement of THz solid-state sources and free-electron lasers, THz physics and related technology is currently coming out of its infancy. The investigation of interplaying THz and optical fields is also of intruiging fundamental interest. First, we introduce theoretical plasma heating results for the quantum-well optical amplifier in the presense of an intense half-cycle THz pulse. The heated carrier distributions are then utilized to calculate the THz-pulse-induced change in refractive index and gain profile. Since the electron-hole-plasma is heated using intraband transitions, we circumvent the usual complications due to an overall change in density, and the nonlinear recovery is governed solely by the carrier-LO-phonon interactions, typically 5 ps for a complete recovery. This procedure implies THz and sub-THz switching and recovery rates, respectively; using either gain modulation or index modulation. Plasma heating via steady-state THz fields is also studied. Finally, numerical simulation of a coupled set of equations to investigate the THz modulation based on a simplified model for quantum-well lasers is presented. Our results show that a semiconductor laser can be modulated at up to 1 THz with little distortion with a THz field amplitude at the order of a few kV/cm. Laser responses to a change in THz frequency will be shown. Constraints, practicalities, and applications will be discussed." @default.
