Abstract

Terahertz (THz) semiconductor based quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) represent powerful and compact integrated light sources. To date they have been realized with various III-V materials where LO phonon emission becomes very effective as the temperature is increased, limiting the maximum operating temperature to 200K. To overcome this limitation, non-polar material systems are attractive because of their weaker e-phonon interaction. Theoretical studies have indicated n-type Ge/SiGe heterostructures where transport is associated to L electrons, as the most promising architecture [1]. Experimentally, sharp intersubband transitions in n-type strain compensated Ge/SiGe QWs have been observed in the 20-50 meV region [2]. Recently, non-equilibrium Green’s functions calculations proved to be efficient in optimising high temperature performance of GaAs/AlGaAs THZ QCLs [3].
