Abstract: The laser module includes a QCL element and a support member. The QCL element has a first end surface located on a first side in a second direction orthogonal to a stacking direction and a second end surface located on a second side opposite to the first side in the second direction. The substrate has first to fourth substrate-surfaces. The support member has a first portion having a first surface facing at least a portion of the fourth substrate-surface, and a second portion having a second surface facing at least a portion of the first substrate-surface and a third surface located opposite to the second surface in the second direction. At least a part of the terahertz wave generated in the active layer is incident on the second surface of the support member through the substrate and is emitted from the third surface through the inside of the second portion.

Abstract: A photodetector includes: a semiconductor substrate; a mesa portion formed on a major surface of the semiconductor substrate to extend along an optical waveguide direction; a first contact layer; a second contact layer; a first electrode; and an air bridge wiring electrically connected to the first contact layer and the first electrode. When viewed in a direction perpendicular to the major surface of the semiconductor substrate, a length of the mesa portion in the optical waveguide direction is longer than a length of the mesa portion in a direction perpendicular to the optical waveguide direction. The air bridge wiring is led out from the first contact layer to one side in the direction perpendicular to the optical waveguide direction, and is bridged between the first contact layer and the first electrode.

Abstract: A quantum cascade laser includes a semiconductor substrate, an optical waveguide formed on a first surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a temperature adjusting member. The optical waveguide includes a first region and a second region located on one side with respect to the first region in the optical waveguide direction of the optical waveguide. The first region generates a first light having a first wavelength, and the second region generates a second light having a second wavelength. The optical waveguide generates an output light having a frequency corresponding to a difference between the first wavelength and the second wavelength by difference-frequency generation. A recess for suppressing heat transfer between the first region and the second region is formed at a second surface of the semiconductor substrate. The temperature adjusting member includes a first temperature adjusting member for adjusting the temperature of the second region.

Abstract: The laser module includes a QCL element, a diffraction grating unit including a movable diffraction grating, a first lens that transmits light emitted from an end surface of the QCL element and light returning from the movable diffraction grating to the QCL element, a second lens that transmits terahertz waves emitted from the QCL element, a first holder, and a package. The first holder has a support surface on which the QCL element is mounted and a side surface connected to the support surface and facing the first lens in a resonance direction. A distance from an intersection point between the side surface and the support surface to the end surface along the resonance direction is smaller than a distance between the intersection point and the first lens along the resonance direction.
