Why a magnetized quantum wire can act as an optical amplifier

POSTER

Abstract

Essentially, we embark on the device aspects of the intersubband collective (magnetoroton) excitations in a quantum wire characterized by a confining harmonic potential and subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field. The computation of the gain coefficient suggests a significant application: the electronic device based on such magnetoroton modes can act as an optical amplifier.
