Title
Si-based quantum staircase terahertz lasers
Abstract
Design results are presented for electrically pumped quantum staircase intersubband p-i-p SiGe/Si strain-balanced superlattice lasers to be operated at 77 K or higher. The wavelength of laser emission will be in the THz range. Two approaches of quantum staircase lasers will be presented, one utilizes the inverted light-hole effective mass, while the other inverted heavy-hole mass. Optical gain on the order of a few 100 cm−1 can be achieved for both laser designs.
