In this paper, a GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice driven at 600 GHz exhibits strong, power dependent third harmonic generation, and the power dependence agrees semi-quantitatively with a simple model describing Bloch oscillations driven by a strong THz electric field.Abstract:
A GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice driven at 600 GHz exhibits strong, power dependent third harmonic generation. Conversion efficiency up to 0.1% was observed. The power dependence agrees semi-quantitatively with a simple model describing Bloch oscillations driven by a strong THz electric field.read more

Continuous third harmonic generation in a terahertz driven modulated nanowire
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a semiclassical master equation for a one-dimensional band of strongly and rapidly driven electrons in the presence of weak scattering by phonons, where the power absorbed from the driving field is continuously dissipated by phonon modes, leading to a quasi-equilibrium in the electron distribution.

Observation of Esaki-Tsu negative differential velocity in GaAs/AlAs superlattices.
TL;DR: The perpendicular peak velocity and critical field have been measured in a series of GaAs/AlAs superlattices as a function of the miniband width and miniband position relative to the AlAs X confined levels.

The quantum theory of an ideal superlattice responding to far-infrared laser radiation
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the width of these quasi-energy minibands depends not only on the parameters of the superlattice, but also on the strength and frequency of the driving laser field.
