摘要
Stimulated emission of far-infrared radiation from uniaxially compressed p-Ge in strong electric fields is shown to be due to population inversion of strain-split acceptor levels. A peak corresponding to the optical transitions between split-off and ground acceptor states is found in the spectrum of stimulated emission. A strong frequency tuning by stress due to the pressure dependence of the energy splitting of these states is obtained. The inversion takes piece as the split-off acceptor state is in the valence band continuum.
