An analysis of the threshold current densities and differential slope efficiencies in interband cascade lasers with type-II active regions revealed lower Auger recombination rates than anticipated theoretically or using the data from prior experiments. Furthermore, a new design of the waveguide yiel

## Abstract A review is presented of work over the last 10 years which has been aimed at trying to produce a Siβbased THz quantum cascade laser. Potential THz applications and present THz sources will be briefly discussed before the materials issues with the Si/SiGe system is discussed. Waveguide d
An exact analytical representation has been obtained for electron eigenstates in the full isotropic 8-band Kane model and applied to calculate the depopulation rate of the lower lasing state in the active region of a type-II intersubband cascade laser. We show that interband tunneling rate takes its
