Why a magnetized semiconducting quantum wirecan act as an optical amplifier

ORAL

Abstract

The fundamental issues associated with the magneto-roton excitations are investigated in a quantum wire characterized by a confining harmonic potential and subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field. Essentially, we embark on the device aspects of the intersubband collective (magnetoroton) excitation which observes a negative group velocity

between the maxon and the roton. The computation of the gain coefficient suggests an interesting and important application: the electronic device based on such magnetoroton

modes can act as an optical amplifier1. 1. M.S. Kushwaha, Phys. Rev. B 78, 153306 (2008); J. Appl. Phys. 109, 106102 (2011); Europhys. Lett. 123, 34001 (2018);
