    摘要: A quantum cascade laser is configured with a semiconductor substrate and first and second active layers provided in series on the substrate. A unit laminate structure of the first active layer has a subband level structure having an emission upper level and an emission lower level, and is configured so as to be able to generate light of a first frequency ω1, a unit laminate structure of the second active layer has a subband level structure having a first emission upper level, a second emission upper level, and a plurality of emission lower levels, and is configured so as to be able to generate light of a second frequency ω2, and light of a difference frequency ω is generated by difference frequency generation from the light of the first frequency ω1 and the light of the second frequency ω2.
