    Journal: Opt Express; 2011 Jan 17; 19(2):1122-30. PubMed ID: 21263652.
    Abstract:
    We demonstrate that azimuthally polarized surface emitting Terahertz quantum cascade lasers fabricated in a micro-ring resonator geometry can be coupled to cylindrical hollow aluminum waveguides reaching efficiencies as high ≈98%, when a collimating lens is used. By placing the waveguide in close contact with the QCL in a simple back-to-back geometry, the laser mode can be perfectly matched with the low loss TE(01) waveguide mode showing attenuation losses as low as ≈2.3-2.7 dB/m at 3.2 THz.
