Quantum cascade lasers for telecommunication wavelengths

Project funded by Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (Vinnova) (Project grant), grant 2007-02872_Vinnova. Participating organisations named by the source: Chalmers University of Technology. Funded amount: SEK 12,465,000, as stated by the source. Runs 2008-01-01 to 2011-08-31. Keywords: Oklassificerat, Unclassified. Source: OpenAIRE Graph, from the funder's project data (collected by OpenAIRE on 2025-12-06); national funding data, not CORDIS. Abstract given by the source: Purpose and goal: Fabricate quantum cascade lasers with short wavelengths. Expected results and effects: Quantum cascade lasers at 1.55 µm would be superior to existing telecommunication lasers. Three effects will be studied: single and double barrier behaviour, the quantum cascade principle and the full laser structure. Approach and implementation: The plan is to fabricate the laser in two main steps. First a long wavelength device and then focus on shorter wavelengths. The following issues will be specifically studied: substrate and epitaxial growth, theory and modelling and finally processing and device evaluation.
