Abstract

The spontaneous emission by ballistic electrons which transverse a superlattice yields as many as 5·10⁸/sec IR photons for an injected currentof 100μA into a 5×20μm² device. Based on this result we obtain the rate of stimulated emission and the gain of an electromagnetic wave. We find that the threshold current density for net wave amplification is about 10⁴A/cm².
