Popis: The photonic crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL) has attracted much attention due to the advantages of a small far-field divergence angle and high output power. Here, we report a high-power terahertz (THz) photonic crystal laser with high beam quality through the optimization of the absorption boundary condition and the introduction of the symmetrically distributed electrodes. Single-mode surface emission at 3.4 THz with the maximum peak output power of 50 mW is demonstrated. Meanwhile, a high symmetric far-field pattern with C6 symmetry and a small divergence angle is achieved. In this device, the integration of the stable single-mode operation, high beam quality and high output power is realized, which may have great significance for practical applications.
