Abstract
The distribution of charge carriers inside the active region of a terahertz (THz) quantum cascade laser (QCL) has been measured with scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SSRM) and scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM). Individual quantum well-barrier modules with a 35.7-nm single module thickness in the active region of the device have been resolved for the first time using high-resolution SSRM and SCM techniques at room temperature. SSRM and SCM measurements on the quantum well-barrier structure were calibrated utilizing known GaAs dopant staircase samples. Doping concentrations derived from SSRM and SCM measurements were found to be in quantitative agreement with the designed average doping values of the n-type active region in the terahertz quantum cascade laser. The secondary ion mass spectroscopy provides a partial picture of internal device parameters, and we have demonstrated with our results the efficacy of uniting calibrated SSRM and SCM to delineate quantitatively the transverse cross-sectional structure of complex two-dimensional terahertz quantum cascade laser devices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
