Continuous wave lasing between Landau levels in graphene

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We predict the general feasibility and demonstrate the specific design of the THz laser operating between Landau levels in graphene placed on a polar substrate in a magnetic field of order 1 T. Steady state operation under a continuous wave optical pumping is possible due to an interplay between Auger and surface-phonon mediated relaxation of carriers. The scheme is scalable to other materials with massless Dirac fermions, for example surface states in 3D topological insulators such as Bi2_2Se3_3 or Bi2_2Te3_3.
