Abstract
We report room-temperature terahertz sources based on Čerenkov difference-frequency generation in dual-wavelength mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers with giant resonant optical nonlinearities originating from intersubband transitions. A Čerenkov difference-frequency generation scheme allows for extraction of THz radiation along the whole length of the laser waveguide and provides directional terahertz emission. Experimentally, our sources demonstrate a conversion efficiency of up to 70 μW/W2 approximately an order of magnitude improvement over the previous reports.
