Abstract
In the present paper effect of hot carriers due to parametrically interacting electron- longitudinal optical phonons in polar semiconductor is analytically investigated. Presence of hot carriers is found to significantly modify the threshold and amplification characteristics in the presence of external magnetic fields. Expressions for threshold pump field required for the onset of polaron induced parametric interaction and amplification characteristics are explicitly derived. It is found that at moderate magnetic field and high carrier concentrations hot carriers affect threshold and amplification characteristics strongly. Resonance between polaron frequency and plasma frequency is found to be favourable for the minimum threshold field. Presence of hot carriers and magnetic field along with mass modulation effects are found to be additive and resulted into increment in the parametric gain. Typical dependence of parametric gain on magnetic field and carrier concentration could be utilized for the construction of optical switches.
