Abstract
Resonant far-infrared photon generation in nanostructures is predicted whenever the energy separation between the subbands of a nanostructur e is equal to the photon energy and the generation condition eV > (h) over bar omega is met. The far-infrared radiation with frequencies in the range of 10(12) to 3 x 10(13) s(-1) is expected.
