Abstract

Effect of amplification of far-IR radiation on light hole cyclotron resonance in Ge and InSb under the optical pumping by CO₂ laser radiation has been calculated using the quantum mechanical model of valence band states in strong magnetic field. The model is based on 6 by 6 Luttinger Hamiltonian for valence band including split-off hole subband. We have found strong resonant dependence of pumping efficiency on magnetic field that is explained by quantum resonance of intersubband absorption of CO₂ laser radiation. It was shown that at the optimal magnetic fields the cross-section of the gain can reach 2 X 10^-14 cm² for pumping power density 2 divided by 4 MW/cm².
