Abstract
Optical nonlinearities are known to coherently couple the amplitude and the phase of light, which can lead to the formation of perfectly periodic waveforms – known as frequency combs. Recently, self-starting frequency combs that do not rely on the emission of short pulses are appearing in numerous semiconductor laser types, among which is the quantum cascade laser. Here we discuss the role of a Bloch gain induced giant Kerr nonlinearity in Fabry-Pérot and ring cavity QCLs, paving the way towards electrically pumped Kerr combs.
