We investigate the stimulated emission spectra of p-Ge hot-hole lasers
, To clarify the influence of impurity absorption we use for the first
time a Tl-doped p-Ge laser. Since we observe a clear difference betwe
en the spectrum of this laser and that of normally used Ga-doped laser
s with respect to the 'emission gap' and to the low-frequency range, w
e can give definite evidence that impurity transitions are involved in
the lasing process.
