Abstract
THz emission of stimulated character was observed in Si/SiGe/Si quantum wel l (QW) structures doped with boron. The resonance cavity formed by extremel y parallel-structure planes due to total internal reflection, is necessary for the emission. The mechanism for the possible population inversion of st rain-split acceptor levels is proposed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
