Abstract

The work is devoted to the theoretical study of plasmon gain in HgTe/CdHgTe multi-quantum-well heterostructures. The spectra of plasmons and plasmon gain are found in structures with 2–8 quantum wells (QWs) under the condition of inverse band population. A nonmonotonic increase in the plasmon gain with an increase in the number of QWs is shown. The dependence of the threshold concentration of nonequilibrium carriers for stimulated plasmon emission on the number of QWs in structures with 1–8 QWs has been studied.
