Plasmon-Phonons Gain in Doped CdHgTe/HgTe Narrow-Gap Quantum Well Structures
摘要
A theoretical study of influence of doping on plasmon–phonon gain in donor-doped HgTe/CdHgTe heterostructures with a single HgTe quantum well (QW) under optical excitation conditions was carried out. The dependences of the threshold concentration of nonequilibrium carriers on the concentration of equilibrium electrons in the QW were calculated. The concentration of equilibrium electrons in the QW that corresponds to the minimum threshold excitation power density was found.
