Abstract:The gain properties of (AlN)m/(GaN)n superlattice-based quantum cascade structure are investigated by using a nonequilibrium Green's function (NGF) theory. In this theory, the electron-electron interaction and electron-LO-phonon interaction are both considered. The gain spectra of QCL are calculated from some current-driven items, which are derived from these two interactions. The results show that the effect of the electron-electron interaction is notable in the low-photon-energy range and the electron-LO-pho… Show more
