Abstract
The infrared radiation from hot holes in InxGa1−x As/GaAs heterostructures with strained quantum wells during lateral transport is investigated experimentally. It is found that the infrared radiation intensities are nonmonotonic functions of the electric field. This behavior is due to the escape of hot holes from quantum wells in the GaAs barrier layers. A new mechanism for producing a population inversion in these structures is proposed.
