| Abstract: A Schottky diode is monolithically integrated into the core of an
infrared semiconductor laser (e.g., a quantum cascade laser) to create a
heterodyned infrared transceiver. The internal mode field of the infrared
semiconductor laser couples to an embedded Schottky diode and can mix the
infrared fields to generate a response at the difference frequency. |
