About this award
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for research on a new concept for terahertz quantum-cascade (QC) lasers. The goal is to demonstrate a chip-scale terahertz quantum-cascade vertical-external-cavity-surface-emitting-laser (QC-VECSEL) capable of delivering scalable continuous-wave output power between 10 and 100 milliwatts or more in a near-diffraction limited output beam. This is a $446,733.69 grant with a period of performance through May 21, 2019. The award is not subject to any set-aside requirements. UCLA is the prime contractor and sole performer of the research, which aligns with NASA's high-level program for developing high-power terahertz lasers with excellent beam quality for use as local oscillator sources.
Description
The research goal of this proposal is to demonstrate a new concept for terahertz quantum-cascade (QC) lasers designed to deliver scalable continuous-wave output power in the range of 10 to 100 MW or more in a near-diffraction limited output beam: a chipscale THZ quantum-cascade vertical-external-cavity-surface-emitting-laser (QC-vecsel). We focus here on the development of a chip-scale version of size
