Vy. Aleshkin et al., FAR-INFRARED EMISSION AND ABSORPTION (AMPLIFICATION) UNDER REAL-SPACETRANSFER AND POPULATION-INVERSION IN SHALLOW MULTI-QUANTUM-WELLS, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 204(1), 1997, pp. 563-565
Conditions for population inversion between continuum and bound states
of a ''shallow'' quantum well in a selectively doped multi-quantum-we
ll system at high lateral electric field are analyzed in a two tempera
ture model. Experimental data on far infrared emission and absorption
under real space transfer (RST) in p-type delta-doped InxGa1-xAs/GaAs
MQWs, which indirectly confirmed existence of hot hole population inve
rsion, are presented.
