摘要：
Electroluminescence from a quantum-cascade structure comprising 40 periods of GaAs/Al0.15Ga0.85As tunnel-coupled quantum wells (QW) was studied. A terahertz emission band in the range 1.0–1.8 THz is observed under bias exceeding 1.5–2.0 V. The emission band peak shifts linearly to higher frequency with the increasing bias. The effect is accounted for by spatially indirect electron transitions between states in the neighboring QWs.
