摘要：
Design considerations are presented for waveguides to be used in p-Si/SiGe based quantum cascade lasers operating in the mid- and far-infrared wavelength ranges. Modal losses and confinement factors are calculated for both TM and TE modes in conventional double metal clad structures, metal-highly doped semiconductor layer structures and also in novel metal-metal silicide structures. Guidelines for choosing the confinement and contact layer parameters are given.
