英文摘要A semiconductor gain medium for example, GaAs and AlGaAs with alternating intrinsic and p-doped regions or InGaAs-InP quantum well-multiple barrier structures are described which can generate THz frequency electromagnetic radiation. The gain medium is configured so as to have a valence band having a plurality of sub-band states. The energy spacing between a first sub-band state and a second sub-band state is such that a hole transitioning from the first sub-band state to the second sub-band state will emit TE mode electromagnetic radiation in the THz frequency range. A method of generating THz frequency electromagnetic radiation from the semiconductor gain medium is also described. A hole is introduced in a sub-band state of a valence band of the semi-conductor medium. The hole is allowed to transition into a lower energy sub-band state of the valence band of the semi-conductor medium and to emit TE mode electromagnetic radiation in the THz frequency range. The gain medium may be used in a vertical cavity emitting laser (VCSEL, 700 Figure 7). The invention may use k-space filtering resulting from intervalence transitions in semiconductor structures operating at high temperatures.
