摘要：
It is shown that a population inversion can be achieved in the system of Landau levels in cascade quantum well structures in a magnetic field under a condition of sequential resonant tunneling. This mechanism allows a wide range tuning of the emitted terahertz frequency by the magnetic field strength variation.
