摘要
Undamped photocurrent self-oscillations have been observed in a direct-gap GaAs-AlAs superlattices. The oscillations in the MHz regime appear over a wide voltage range, where the time-averaged I-V characteristic exhibits a strong negative differential conductivity. The frequency distribution is strongly dependent on the applied voltage and the laser intensity. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
