This paper proposes a theoretical design for quantum cascade lasers utilizing diamond and metal films within a metal-insulator-metal structure, aiming to generate radiation across the UV to THz spectrum. The research focuses on investigating quantum potential profiles and metastable levels in quasi-periodic heterostructures, representing a significant step toward advanced photonics hardware.
Optical quantum cascade laser based on a MIM structure
arXiv:2609.29482v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A quantum cascade laser based on a metal-insulator-metal structure is proposed, the heterostructure of which consists of diamond and metal films. The profile of the quantum potential in a quasi-periodic MIM heterostructure and the structure of metastable levels in quantum wells are investigated. A number of CCL configurations have been proposed. The possibility of generating radiation from the UV to THz range is theoretically shown.
