摘要
We present study of stimulated THz emission from uniaxially strained Ge at low electric field. The cw regime was reached at electric field below 10 V/cm. The carrier population inversion is a result of capture and emission of free holes at strain-induced resonant acceptor states. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
