A broadband, Cu-Cu THz quantum cascade laser is presented. The device shows an 50% improved dynamical range and doubled peak power in pulsed compared to Au-Au devices. The pulsed maximum lasing temperature was increased from 105 K to 133 K. In CW similar bandwidths for Cu-Cu and Au-Au devices are observed with an increased temperature performance. At 77 K the emitted power of the device is reduced by 57% compared to 30 K. At this temperature a single narrow beatnote is observed, which can be locked to an RF synthesizer. THz comb emission spans roughly 800 GHz.
