Abstract
We present experimental results on continuous-wave generation of THz radiat ion by strained Ge and a theoretical model for population inversion of carr iers giving rise to the stimulated THz emission. Resonant acceptor states i nduced by strain and resonance hole scattering under applied electric field are necessary for the inversion. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
