چکیده

We present a simple semianalytical model, which allows comprehensive analysis of the LO-phonon assisted electron relaxation in quantum well intersubband semiconductor lasers. Examples of scattering rate tailoring in type-I double quantum well heterostructures and analysis of the subband depopulation process in type-II heterostructures illustrate applicability of the model.

Resonant phonon-assisted depopulation in type-I and type-II intersubband laser heterostructures

We show that LO phonon-assisted interband tunneling in type-II intersubband laser heterostructures is more efficient for the fast depopulation of the lower lasing states than the corresponding intersubband process in type-I double quantum wells (DQW). The main peak of the electron-phonon resonance in type-II DQW corresponds to electron transitions from the lowest electron-like subband to the to...

Electron-phonon resonance in InAsÕGaSb type-II laser heterostructures

The rate of interband electron transitions assisted by LO-phonon emission is studied in an InAs/ GaSb double quantum well heterostructure, which models the active region of a type-II intersubband cascade laser. The main peak of the electron-phonon resonance corresponds to electron transitions from the lowest electron-like subband to the top of the highest light-hole-like subband that is displac...

GaAsj AIGaAs Far-Infrared Quantum Cascade Laser

In this thesis I investigated the feasibility of an optically pumped intersubband farinfrared (40-100 j,lm) laser, using GaAs/ AlxGal-xAs heterostructures. The proposed design aims to use LO-phonon-mediated depopulation of the lower THz laser level to aid the intersubband laser population inversion. Interband recombination occurs by means of stimulated emission, thus combining an interband (rv ...

Electron–interface phonon interaction in multiple quantum well structures

Intersubband relaxation rates due to electron interactions with the interface phonons are evaluated for multiple quantum well structures designed for step quantum well lasers operating at mid-infrared to submillimetre wavelengths. The interface phonon modes and electron–phonon interaction Hamiltonians for the structures are derived using the transfer matrix method, based on the macroscopic diel...

Size-quantized oscillations of the electron mobility limited by the optical and confined acoustic phonons in the nanoscale heterostructures

The authors theoretically investigated the electron mobility in the nanometer thickness AlN/GaN/AlN heterostructures limited by the polar optical and confined acoustic phonons. The proposed model accurately takes into account dispersion of the optical and acoustic phonons in such heterostructures as well as inelasticity of the electron scattering on both optical and acoustic phonons. It has bee...
