摘要：

We characterized a set of terahertz quantum-cascade lasers with identical device parameters except for the doping concentration. The delta-doping density was varied from 3.2x10(10) to 4.8x10(10) cm(-2). We observed that the threshold current density increased monotonically with doping. Moreover, the measured results on devices with different cavity lengths provided evidence that the free carrier absorption caused waveguide loss also increased monotonically. Interestingly, however, the observed maximum lasing temperature displayed an optimum at a doping density of 3.6x10(10) cm(-2). (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
