Paper Abstract
Electron-longitudinal optic phonon and electron-electron intersubband scattering rates are calculated for a variety of quantum well systems. It is demonstrated that the internal quantum efficiency of a Terahertz radiative intersubband transition can be greater than in the mid-IR at 4K, however by room temperature has fallen to around 20 percent. A study of the internal quantum efficiency of a Terahertz energy intersubband transition in double and single quantum wells, has shown that the vertical intrawell transition is more efficient than the diagonal interwell transition.
