title = "Silicon germanium quantum cascade heterostructures for far-infrared emission",
abstract = "Terahertz (far-infrared) intersubband electroluminescence is reported in p-type Si/SiGe quantum wells and quantum cascade structures. Surface-normal emission (without the aid of a surface grating) from light hole - heavy hole intersubband transitions has been observed for the first time in a quantum cascade device. Edge-emission measurements have also been performed, which show emission from both heavy hole - heavy hole and light hole - heavy hole transitions, and have allowed demonstration of the polarisation dependence of the emitted power, according to the selection rules for the intersubband interactions. The electroluminescence is visible up to temperatures of ∼150K, in the multiple quantum well structures, and ≥77K in the quantum cascade structure.",
