Abstract:
Les lasers à semiconducteurs sont devenus omniprésents aussi bien dans la recherche scientifique que dans les applications en ingénierie, et leur miniaturisation a fait d'importants progrès depuis leur première démonstration en 1960. Deux avancées majeures dans ce domaine incluent les lasers à boîtes quantiques (QD), qui opèrent dans la plage de longueurs d'onde proche de l'infrarouge, et les lasers à cascade interbande (ICL), conçus pour une utilisation dans le moyen infrarouge. Dans le paysage actuel de l'optoélectronique, les circuits intégrés photoniques (CIP) jouent un rôle essentiel et é

The extension of Multi-mode Absorption Spectroscopy (MUMAS) to the infra-red spectral region for multi-species gas sensing is reported. A computationally efficient, theoretical model for analysis of MUMAS spectra is presented that avoids approximations used in previous work and treats arbitrary and time-dependent spectral intensity envelopes, thus facilitating the use of commercially available Interband Cascade Lasers (ICLs) and Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs). The first use of an ICL for MUMAS is reported using a multi-mode device operating at 3.7 &mu;m to detect CH<sub>4</sub> transitions over

Abstract:
Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are capable of high power, tunable wavelength and single mode emission at room temperature in the mid-infrared wavelength region. These capabilities make them perfect light sources for laser based gas spectroscopy. The work described in this thesis focuses on development of QCLs suitable for selective gas sensing applications. The thesis starts with the description of different changes to the QCL active region design. These changes were studied in order to improve laser performance while keeping the emission wavelength fixed. The proposed modifications were perfor

Abstract:
Les lasers à cascade quantique sont des sources lasers à semiconducteur compactes et capables de délivrer une forte puissance optique sur une large gamme de longueur d'onde dans l'infrarouge. Les QCLs de la filière InP sont les plus établis. Le système de matériaux InAs/AlSb est une solution alternative encore peu développée mais qui, en vertu de ses propriétés, présente des atouts incontestables pour la réalisation de lasers à cascade quantique. Le travail de cette thèse a apporté une meilleure connaissance du système InAs/AlSb et de ses possibilités pour les QCLs, à la fois sur un plan théor

Abstract:
Les lasers à cascade quantique (LCQs) sont des dispositifs semiconducteurs unipolaires dont le principe de fonctionnement est basé sur des transitions électroniques dans la bande de conduction d'un système de puits quantiques et sur l'effet tunnel résonant. Ce sont les seules sources semiconductrices cohérentes de lumière de grande efficacité pour le moyen infrarouge fonctionnant l température ambiante. Leur longueur d'onde étant indépendante de l'énergie du gap du matériau utilisé, leur gamme spectrale s'étend dans l'infrarouge de 3|im à 24 \im. La thèse -dont le but est le calcul du transpor

Abstract:
A measurement platform has been built to characterize quantum cascade lasers regrown at KTH by measuring their spectral and electrical properties at room temperature. Since the current source used in this work had a compliance voltage which was too low to get above threshold, an adapter was made to put an external voltage source in series with it, raising the voltage over the laser. The adapter was first simulated using OrCAD PSPICE and then soldered together and put inside a plastic box with connections for the voltage source, current source and laser mount. A software was made using LabView

Abstract:
Terahertz frequency quantum cascade lasers (THz QCLs) are compact, semiconductor sources of coherent THz radiation, and have numerous potential applications in chemical sensing and industrial inspection, as well as security and biomedical imaging. In this thesis, the development of QCLs as sources of THz radiation is explored, together with their application in self-mixing (SM) imaging systems. The effect of reducing the etch depth of the THz QCL active region was explored, and its influence on QCL performance evaluated. This was aimed of improving the thermal management in QCLs, as well as op
