摘要：
It is shown that the photon avalanche mechanism can be used for producing nonequilibrium electron-hole pairs by low-intensity IR light with a photon energy smaller than the energy gap of a semiconductor by a factor of 3-5. A type II heterostructure with deep quantum wells is proposed to be employed for this purpose. In the model under investigation, the photon avalanche effect is due to a combination of a cascade of one- and two-photon transitions and Auger-type transitions. (C) 2003 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
