    "abstract": "Using a microscopic theory based on the Maxwell-semiconductor Bloch\nequations, we investigate the possibility of an optically-assisted\nelectrically-driven THz quantum cascade laser. Whereas in optical conversion\nschemes the power conversion efficiency is limited by the Manley-Rowe relation,\nthe proposed optically-assisted scheme can achieve higher efficiency by\ncoherently recovering the optical pump energy. Furthermore, due to quantum\ncoherence effects the detrimental effects of scattering are mitigated.",
