AbstractWe have designed a parallel interminiband lasing in superlattice structures of coherently strained Si0.5Ge0.5/Si quantum wells (QWs). Population inversion is achieved between the non-parabolic heavy-hole valence minibands locally in-k-space. Lasing transition is at 5.4μm. Our analysis indicates that an optical gain of 134/cm can be obtained when the laser structure is pumped with a current density of 5kA/cm2.

Photonic crystal vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser structure with incorporation of high-index-contrast subwavelength gratings is fabricated and the three quantum well active region of the structure is investigated with 8 band k.p model. The dispersion of energy sub-bands and wave functions in the conduction bands and valence bands indicate that effective overlapping and interactions between electrons and holes can be realized in the quantum wells and that the maximum spontaneous emission rate and optical gain occurs at the expected wavelength, which is confirmed by the measured photoluminescence spectrum.

This chapter shows how to calculate the absorption coefficient, optical gain, and radiative recombination rates in quantum wells and superlattices. A detailed treatment of both interband and intersubband transitions is presented, and their differences and similarities are considered in detail. The optical properties of wurtzite quantum wells and zinc-blende quantum wires and dots are also discussed. Finally, the interaction of excitonic transitions with incident light in quantum wells is considered as a model for other two-dimensional materials.
