Abstract

We review recent applications of wavefunction engineering to the design of antimonide quantum heterostructures with favorable properties for infrared devices. Examples include electro-optical and all-optical modulators based on Г-L intervalley transfer, type-II quantum well lasers with enhanced gain per injected carrier, and type-II interband cascade lasers predicted to combine low thresholds and high output powers.
