Paper Abstract
Laser action by a weak to vanishing population inversion is observed in mid-infrared (7 μm) quantum cascade
lasers. The origin of the optical gain is the same than for the Bloch oscillator predicted in superlattices. This
special gain does not only relax the threshold condition for lasing, but also underlines the major role played by
coherent processes in semiconductor heterostructures, as it is based on scattering assisted optical transitions.
