TY - JOUR AU - Williams, Benjamin S. PY - 2007 DA - 2007// TI - Terahertz quantum-cascade lasers JO - Nature Photonics SP - 517 EP - 525 VL - 1 KW - QCL review AB - Six years after their birth, terahertz quantum-cascade lasers can now deliver milliwatts or more of continuous-wave coherent radiation throughout the terahertz range — the spectral regime between millimetre and infrared wavelengths, which has long resisted development. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art and future prospects for these lasers, including efforts to increase their operating temperatures, deliver higher output powers and emit longer wavelengths.
