Which mechanism determines the cutoff frequency in quantum cascade lasers?

💡 Explanation

The cutoff frequency depends on the intersubband transition lifetime, because shorter lifetimes mean faster radiative decay; therefore, the laser’s frequency response is limited, rather than by phonon scattering that broadens the gain.
