摘要：
The scheme of a laser which can operate in the far-infrared range (lambda similar to 150 mum) is suggested. In order to attain the inversion of the subband population, it is suggested that electron transport in three tunnel-coupled quantum wells in a strong electric field, which lies in the plane of quantum wells, be used. An important specific feature of the structure suggested is the presence of a single rough heterointerface. The electron transport was simulated by the Monte Carlo method for the AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs (x = 0.2-0.3) heterostructure. The simulation demonstrated that the population inversion in the first and second subbands is realized for fields above 1.2 kV cm(-1) at T = 4.2 and 77 K.
