Notes:
Simulations of a room-temperature p-i-p coherently strained Si0.5Ge0.5/Si superlattice quantum-parallel laser diode have been made. Calculations have been made of the local-in-k-space population inversion between the nonparabolic heavy-hole valence minibands, HH2 and HH1. Lasing is at 5.4 μm and the optical dipole matrix element is 3.7 A. Analysis of radiative-and-phonon scattering between the "mixed" bands indicates a lifetime difference between the upper and lower states of 2.4 ps. At an injected current density of 5000 A/cm2, a laser gain of 134 cm−1 is calculated. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
