Hot phonon effects and suppressed Auger recombination on 3 $μ$m room temperature lasing in HgTe-based multiple quantum well diodes

We propose an electrically pumped laser diode based on multiple HgTe quantum wells with band structure engineered for Auger recombination suppression. A model for accounting for hot phonons is developed for calculating the nonequilibrium temperature of electrons and holes. Using a comprehensive model accounting for carrier drift and diffusion, Auger recombination and hotphonon effects, we predict of lasing at $λ\sim 3 $ $μ$m at room temperature in 2.2 nm HgTe/Cd$_{0.85}$Hg$_{0.15}$Te quantum well heterostructure. The output power in the pulse can reach up to 600 mW for 100 nanosecond-duration pulses.

Feasibility of lasing in the GaAs Reststrahlen band with HgTe multiple quantum well laser diodes

Operation of semiconductor lasers in the 20--50 $μ$m wavelength range is hindered by strong non-radiative recombination in the interband laser diodes, and strong lattice absorption in GaAs-based quantum cascade structures. Here, we propose an electrically pumped laser diode based on multiple HgTe quantum wells with band structure engineered for Auger recombination suppression. Using a comprehensive model accounting for carrier drift and diffusion, electron and hole capture in quantum wells, Auger recombination, and heating effects, we show the feasibility of lasing at $λ= 26...30$ $μ$m at temperatures up to 90 K. The output power in the pulse can reach up to 8 mW for microsecond-duration pulses.
