Abstract

This paper reviews, compares, and contrasts recent gain calculations for a laser concept in delta-doped p-Ge and p-GaAs. Gain is calculated using distribution functions, determined from Monte Carlo simulations, for hot holes in crossed electric and magnetic fields. The results suggest that Ge is the superior material when considering only the factor of optical gain, but the possibility of lasing in GaAs can take advantage of a wider range of growth opportunities.
