摘要：
We present the results of an experiment to measure far-infrared intersubband spontaneous emission from optically pumped quantum wells. A four-level laser design scheme was implemented using a coupled triple quantum well structure for optical pumping from E-1 to E-4 with a CO2 laser. The phonon scattering rates were designed to optimize the far- infrared emission efficiency and population inversion between E-3-E(2)similar to 30 meV. The spontaneous emission spectrum was successfully resolved to reveal an emission peak at 30.8 meV with a linewidth of 7 meV. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(98)01847-6].
