Abstract
We have developed precision micromachining techniques for integration of terahertz quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with waveguides and feedhorns for use as local oscillators in satellite-borne receivers. We demonstrate these techniques using QCLs at 3.4 THz and 4.7 THz, as well as the first QCL with a monolithically integrated power modulator.
