ABSTRACTWe will present calculations of the ideal performance of mid-infrared InAs/InGaSb superlattice quantum well lasers. For these systems several periods of an InAs/InGaSb type-II superlattice are grown in quantum wells. Calculations of the non-radiative and radiative lifetimes of the carriers utilize the full non-parabolic band structure and momentum-dependent matrix elements calculated from a semi-empirical multilayer K · P theory. From these lifetimes, threshold current densities have been evaluated for laser structures. We find serious problems with the hole and electron confinement in the superlattice quantum wells grown to date, and propose a four-layer superlattice structure which corrects these problems.

Tilted Magnetic Field

The structure and features of spatially-confined states in the presence of a tilted magnetic field are theoretically investigated. The electron states in single- and double-quantum wells are described using the variational method. It is shown that the finite ratio of magnetic length to the width of heterostructure could not be neglected in the strong tilted magnetic field. The electronic structure of broken-gap heterostructures is considered similar to the case of usual double-quantum-well with the high narrow barrier. It is shown that tilted magnetic field can eliminate the strong coupling between two degenerated electron states or those of the electron and hole. The existence of such an effect is in accordance with cyclotron resonance studies of InAs / GaSb heterostructures.
