| New Terahertz Source Could Strengthen Sensing Applications
McCormick Press Release - March 25, 2016
Current terahertz sources are large, multi-component systems that sometimes require complex vacuum systems, external pump lasers, and even cryogenic cooling. The unwieldy devices are heavy, expensive, and hard to transport, operate, and maintain.
Now Northwestern Engineering’s Manijeh Razeghi has developed a new type of security detection device that bypasses these issues. With the ability to detect explosives, chemical agents, and dangerous biological substances from safe distances, the device could make public spaces more secure than ever. ... [read more]

| Single-chip mid-IR quantum-cascade laser plus amplifier is widely tunable
Laser Focus World Press Release - January 7, 2016
Manijeh Razeghi and her colleagues at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) have now integrated a mid-infrared (4.8 μm spectral region) electrically tuned quantum-cascade laser (QCL) with an on-chip amplifier, creating a compact package that can output more than 5 W in pulsed mode tunable over a 270 nm spectral range. A refined geometry emits 1.25 W continuous-wave (CW) with a 300 nm tuning range. Both emit a nearly diffraction-limited beam even at a high amplifier current. Adjustable wavelength output, modulators, and amplifiers are all inside a single package.With this architecture, the laser has demonstrated an order-of-magnitude more output power than its predecessors, and the tuning range has been enhanced by more than a factor of two. ...

| Single-Chip Laser Delivers Powerful Result
McCormick Press Release - January 7, 2016
From their use in telecommunication to detecting hazardous chemicals, lasers play a major role in our everyday lives. They keep us connected, keep us safe, and allow us to explore the dark corners of the universe. Now a Northwestern Engineering team has made this ever-important tool even simpler and more versatile by integrating a mid-infrared tunable laser with an on-chip amplifier. This breakthrough allows adjustable wavelength output, modulators, and amplifiers to be held inside a single package.With this architecture, the laser has demonstrated an order-of-magnitude more output power than its predecessors, and the tuning range has been enhanced by more than a factor of two. ...

| Tilted Laser Cavities Make Brighter Beams
McCormick Press Release - March 16, 2015
A simple tilt of geometry recently made quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) even brighter.
Led by Manijeh Razeghi, the Walter P. Murphy Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, a team of researchers in the McCormick School of Engineering has designed a new laser technology with high power and high brightness. QCLs emit mid- to far-range infrared radiation that can be used for the detection of gases, chemicals, and pollutants in the atmosphere.
Good beam quality is necessary for sending infrared light across great distances, but few structures have been able to achieve both high power and high brightness. Razeghi’s group in the Center for Quantum Devices was able to achieve this using a remarkably simple technique: tilting the laser cavity. ... [read more]

| Building a More Versatile Frequency Comb
McCormick Press Release - February 16, 2015
Frequency combs are the rulers of light. By counting a wavelength’s many oscillations, they measure distance and time with extraordinary precision and speed. Since the discovery of optical frequency combs in the 1990s, many applications in metrology, spectroscopy, and frequency synthesis have emerged.
Research led by Manijeh Razeghi at Northwestern University’s Center for Quantum Devices has overcome technical hurdles and demonstrated a room temperature, compact frequency comb based on a quantum cascade laser (QCL) with wide spectral coverage and high power. Unlike earlier frequency comb sources based on fundamentally mode-locked lasers or high-Q microresonators with intense optical pumping, Razeghi’s solution is based on QCLs and electrically pumped solid-state sources. ...
