In this paper a procedure for the global optimization of mid-infrared GaAs/AlGaAs quantum cascade lasers that relies on the method of simulated annealing is presented. We propose a double longitudinal optical phonon resonance design obtained via a ladder of three states, with subsequent pairs separated by optical phonon energy. Addition of an extra level decreases the lower laser level population by enabling an efficient extraction into the injector region. The output characteristics of the optimized structures are calculated using the full self–consistent rate equation model, which includes all of the relevant scattering mechanisms. We also presented the experimentally measured output characteristics of an initial device, which are in agreement with the numerically calculated values, confirming the good design capabilities of the applied procedure.

AbstractWe have studied the effects on the phonon spectrum and on the electron-longitudinal optical phonon scattering in GaN/AlN and GaAs/AlAs quantum wells. Phonon modes and potentials have been calculated for both systems. Results for emission due to electroninterface phonons interactions are presented. We will discuss the implications for relaxation times and electron mobility due to modified LO-phonon scattering in both systems.
