Doping of germanium and silicon crystals with non-hydrogenic acceptors
for far infrared lasers
Inventors:
Eugene E. Haller, Erik Bründermann, U.S. Patent
6,011,810, Date: 4 January 2000
The tuning range from 1 to 4 THz of the
germanium
laser
corresponds in other units to 30 to 140/cm, 0.4 to 1.6 kJ/mol, 4 to 17
meV, 70 µm to 0.35 mm or 40 to 200 Kelvin.
Details can be found in the book chapter: E. Bründermann,
"Widely Tunable Far Infrared Hot Hole
Semiconductor Lasers" published as Chapter 6 in "Long-Wavelength
Infrared Semiconductor Lasers" by John Wiley and Sons, approx. 90
