Vortrag
This talk aims to give a short introduction in the field of quantum cascade devices with a strong focus on quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) and quantum cascade detectors (QCLs). A bi-functional QC structure will be presented [1,2], that can be operated in two modes, as coherent light emitter as well as intersubband detector, depending on the bias applied to the structure [3].
This opens the way to on-chip sensing solutions with a high inte-gration density [4]. Liquid sensing at room tem-perature with a mono-lithic integrated sensor was achieved by a QCL, a dielectric loaded Surface Plasmon Polari-ton (SPP) waveguide as interaction section of the infrared light with the liquid, and a QCD.
To demonstrate gas sensing with the same technology a surface emitting and detecting sensor was processed using the very same heterostructure material. A distributed feedback ring quantum cas-cade laser is integrated on-chip with a detector element. The surface emitted light is collimated, guided through a gas cell, back reflected by a flat mirror, focused, and detected by the sensor element on the very same device. The surface operation mode enables for comparable long interaction lengths as needed for gas absorption measurements [5].
