Optimization of quantum cascade laser operation by geometric design of cascade active band in open and closed models

Using the effective mass and rectangular potential approximations, the theory of electron dynamic conductivity is developed for the plane multilayer resonance tunnel structure placed into a constant electric field within the model of open nanosystem, and oscillator forces of quantum transitions within the model of closed nanosystem. For the experimentally produced quantum cascade laser with four-barrier active band of separate cascade, it is proven that just the theory of dynamic conductivity in the model of open cascade most adequately describes the radiation of high frequency electromagnetic field while the electrons transport through the resonance tunnel structure driven by a constant electric field.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure

Proton timing in the HARP RPCs

In this note, we study the effect of the use of the reconstructed pT and polar angle(Theta) of protons in the measurement of the time of flight from the RPCs minus the time of flight calculated from the proton momentum
