Abstract
We report the demonstration of electrically pumped Terahertz quantum cascade lasers based on topologically-protected valley edge states. Unlike previous topological lasers that relied on large-scale features to realize topological protection, we employ a compact valley photonic crystal design analogous to two-dimensional (2D) gapped valleytronic materials. Lasing occurs in a sharp-cornered triangular cavity with whispering gallery propagating modes. In addition, we experimentally demonstrate the electrically pumped topological lasers in a Majorana zero mode which shows a cylindrical vector beam single-mode lasing emission in the Terahertz regime.
