  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. Ultrafast gain switching of THz quantum cascade lasers is demonstrated and applied to amplify sub-ps THz pulses as well as to initiate THz laser emission with a controlled phase. Impact on THz time domain spectroscopy and on future development for mode-locking will be discussed.
