Quasi-crystal distributed feedback lasers do not require any form of mirror cavity to amplify and extract *** implemented on the top surface of a semiconductor laser,a quasi-crystal pattern can be used to tune both the radiation feedback and the extraction of highly radiative and high-quality-factor optical modes that do not have a defined symmetric or anti-symmetric ***,this methodology offers the possibility to achieve efficient emission,combined with tailored spectra and controlled beam ***,we apply this concept to a onedimensional quantum cascade wire *** lithographically patterning a series of air slits with different widths,following the Octonacci sequence,on the top metal layer of a double-metal quantum cascade laser operating at THz frequencies,we can vary the emission from single-frequency-mode to multimode over a 530-GHz bandwidth,achieving a maximum peak optical power of 240mW(190 mW)in multimode(single-frequency-mode)lasers,with record slope efficiencies for multimode surface-emitting disordered THz lasers up to ≈570 mW/A at 78 K and ≈720 mW/A at 20 K and wall-plug efficiencies of η≈1%.

A flexible,fully organic detector for proton beams is presented *** detector operates in the indirect mode and is composed of a polysiloxane-based scintillating layer coupled to an organic phototransistor,that is assessed for flexibility and low-voltage operation(V=−1 V),with a limit of detection of 0.026 Gy min^(−1).We present a kinetic model able to precisely reproduce the dynamic response of the device under irradiation and to provide further insight into the physical processes controlling *** detector is designed to target real-time and in-situ dose monitoring during proton therapy and demonstrates mechanical flexibility and low power operation,assessing its potential employment as a personal dosimeter with high comfort and low risk for the *** results show how such a proton detector represents a promising tool for real-time particle detection over a large area and irregular surfaces,suitable for many applications,from experimental scientific research to innovative theranostics.
