Abstract
A proposal to achieve population inversion between first and second le vels of the superlattice wells due to the intrawell optical phonon emi ssion and 1-3 level interwell tunnelling is discussed. A brief outline of proposed stimulated FIR emission by ballistic electrons in the bar riers of a superlattice is presented.
