Abstract

Ring resonators are interesting alternative cavity solutions to the commonly used ridge type waveguide for THz Quantum Cascade lasers. They either support a standing wave pattern showing spatial hole burning if there are defects implemented or a traveling mode in a defect-free cavity. We have fabricated two devices structures. The first one is episide-up with bonding pads. The measurements show a complex behavior of comb-formation most probably influenced by spatial hole burning. The second structure is a pure ring mounted episode down on Si-substrate. This structure shows a totally different comb formation as well as much reduced threshold currents.
