英文摘要 | The present invention is directed to the development of compact, coherent sources emitting in the terahertz frequency region using interface phonons. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, a semiconductor heterostructure light emitting device includes a quantum cascade structure having at least an upper lasing level and a lower lasing level. The system uses heterostructure interface phonon bands to depopulate the lower lasing level of at least a three level semiconductor device. The device includes multiple coupled quantum well modules. In alternate preferred embodiments, the device includes quantum dot layers and/or, quantum wire structures, and/or mini-bands in a superlattice, for example, GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice. The phonons in the device improve efficiency, decrease the threshold current and result in system temperatures that are as high as room temperature. The semiconductor device provides emission of terahertz radiation. In a preferred embodiment the semiconductor device provides at least one emission in the terahertz radiation region and in a far infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The emissions include a first emission having a first energy level and a second emission having a second energy level. |
