Key Points

To identify and characterize the fundamental physical mechanism limiting optical gain in terahertz quantum cascade laser heterostructures.
Analyzed the effects of interaction-induced spectral broadening and quantum state overlap in quantum heterostructure photonic devices.
Identified a universal gain crossover occurring when interaction-induced spectral broadening leads to the overlap of quantum states.
Demonstrated that state overlap acts as an intrinsic ceiling on optical gain, establishing a core design principle for quantum photonic architectures.
