Abstract
半導体基板と、半導体基板上に設けられ、量子井戸発光層17及び注入層18からなる単位積層体16が多段に積層されたカスケード構造を有する活性層とを備えて量子カスケードレーザを構成する。また、単位積層体16は、そのサブバンド準位構造において、発光上準位Lupと、発光下準位Llowと、発光下準位よりも低いエネルギー準位からなる緩和ミニバンドMBとを有し、上準位から下準位への電子のサブバンド間遷移によって光が生成されるとともに、サブバンド間遷移を経た電子は、LOフォノン散乱によって下準位LlowからミニバンドMBへと緩和され、ミニバンドMBを介して、注入層18から後段の発光層へと注入されるように構成される。これにより、量子井戸発光層における反転分布を効率的に形成して、レーザ動作性能を向上することが可能な量子カスケードレーザが実現される。
