Simulated [111] Si–SiGe terahertz quantum cascade laser

L. Lever, A. Valavanis, Z. Ikonic, and R. W. Kelsall
The prospect of developing a silicon laser has long been an elusive goal, mainly due to the indirect band gap and large effective carrier masses. We present a design for a terahertz intersubband laser grown on the [111] crystal plane and simulate performance using a rate equation method including sc ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 92, 021124 (2008)] published Fri Jan 18, 2008.
