摘要

1994年1月，第一台量子级联激光器（QCL）在贝尔实验室展示了激光作用。在这30年里，QCL不断发展，从实验室的好奇心到中红外和太赫兹范围内相干辐射的主要片上源。QCL在激光物理及其应用的几个领域取得了令人印象深刻的发展，世界范围内的研究小组和公司稳步增长。量子级联激光器的30年发展已经确立了它们作为中红外和太赫兹范围内相干辐射的首选源。在这篇评论中，作者引导读者了解这项技术的里程碑式成就，从实验室的好奇心到研究小组和公司采用的成熟技术。

30 years of the quantum cascade laser

It was January 1994, when the first quantum cascade laser (QCL) displayed laser action in Bell Laboratories. During these 30 years the QCL evolved incessantly, from a lab curiosity to the main on-chip source of coherent radiation in the Mid-IR and THz ranges. The journey has seen an impressive development of the QCL in several fields of laser physics and its applications, with a steady growth of research groups and companies worldwide. The 30-years development of quantum cascade lasers has established them as a go-to source of coherent radiation in the Mid-IR and THz ranges. In this comment, the authors guide the reader through the landmark achievements of this technology, from a lab curiosity to a mature technology adopted by research groups and companies.

期刊介绍： Communications Physics is an open access journal from Nature Research publishing high-quality research, reviews and commentary in all areas of the physical sciences. Research papers published by the journal represent significant advances bringing new insight to a specialized area of research in physics. We also aim to provide a community forum for issues of importance to all physicists, regardless of sub-discipline. The scope of the journal covers all areas of experimental, applied, fundamental, and interdisciplinary physical sciences. Primary research published in Communications Physics includes novel experimental results, new techniques or computational methods that may influence the work of others in the sub-discipline. We also consider submissions from adjacent research fields where the central advance of the study is of interest to physicists, for example material sciences, physical chemistry and technologies.
