In the terahertz (THz) frequency range, a semiconductor‐based technology for ultra‐short pulse generation has yet to be realized. Here, a novel dispersion compensation scheme is applied to THz Quantum Cascade Lasers, based on an on‐chip integration of a Gires‐Tournois Interferometer, greatly reducing the THz pulse duration to a few optical cycles.
