We propose the concept and experimentally verify the operation of terahertz quantum cascade laser sources based on intra-cavity Cherenkov difference-frequency generation on a silicon substrate with the current injection layer configured as a metal wire grid. Such a current injector configuration enables high transmission of TM-polarized terahertz radiation into the silicon substrate while simultaneously providing a low-resistivity metal contact for current injection.
