Abstract
We demonstrate a frequency tunable external cavity terahertz quantum cascade laser using an abutted antireflection-coated silicon lens to reduce facet reflection and as a beam-forming element, with an external grating providing frequency selective optical feedback. Angle tuning of the grating allows a single longitudinal mode of the laser ridge to be selected, resulting in discontinuous tuning over a 165 GHz range around a center frequency of 4.4 THz. Another device exhibited 145 GHz of total tuning with 9 GHz of continuous tuning near the longitudinal modes of the laser.
