Abstract

Semiconductors are proposed as two-photon gain media. The size of the effect and the conditions necessary to observe two-photon gain are determined by employing a low-temperature approximation that allows a simple combination of two-photon absorption theory and semiconductor laser theory. Two-photon gain amplifiers based on electrically pumped GaAs heterostructures and optically pumped InSb are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
