Graphene-based 2D-heterostructures for terahertz lasers and amplifiers
Proceedings of SPIE(2019)
摘要
This paper reviews recent advances in the terahertz (THz) graphene-based 2D-heterostructure lasers and amplifiers. The linear gapless graphene energy spectrum enables population inversion under optical and electrical pumping giving rise to the negative dynamic conductivity in a wide THz frequency range. We first theoretically discovered these phenomena and recently reported on the experimental observation of the amplified spontaneous THz emission and single-mode THz lasing at 100K in the current-injection pumped graphene-channel field-effect transistors (GFETs) with a distributed-feedback dual-gate structure. We also observed the light amplification of stimulated emission of THz radiation driven by graphene-plasmon instability in the asymmetric dual-grating gate (ADGG) GFETs by using a THz time-domain spectroscopy technique. Integrating the graphene surface plasmon polariton (SPP) oscillator into a current-injection graphene THz laser transistor is the most promising approach towards room-temperature intense THz lasing.
