Abstract
The stimulated emission and absorption of surface plasma modes by inelastic scattering of tunneling electrons is considered. It is shown that the net absorption rate is proportional to the current difference between points ±ℏω/e about the bias point on the elastic current-voltage characteristic. In particular, this can be negative implying the possibility of net stimulated emission over a large bandwidth. The relationship to photon assisted tunneling theory is considered.
