description

In this paper we present results of calculations for quantum dots matrix acting as an active medium in novelty proposal of far-infrared laser. The proposal is based on the pumping laser by rapid (nonadiabatic) switching on in-plane electric field which allows us to obtain population inversion. The numerical analysis of electron-photon system kinetics was performed for various electric fields and temperatures. These calculation utilises the method of solving the Cauchy problem for infinite chain of linear differential equations. Also the contribution of dynamics of non-radiative transitions mediated by the phonons has been taken account. The obtained results indicate that by the properly chosen of QDs parameters it is possible to reduce the rate of these transitions in the degree that allows us to obtain good laser efficiency at low temperatures.
