Using hydrodynamic model of a semiconductor-plasma and following the coupled-mode approach, an analytical investigation of excitation of a polaron mode is made in a direct gap 111-V weakly polar, doped semiconductor in presence of an applied magnetostatic field. The effect of magnetostatic fields on the basic operational characteristics of a parametric oscillator, viz., threshold condition and conversion efficiency has been critically analyzed. Numerical estimates are made for an n-InSb crystal at 5K duly irradiated by a pulsed 10.6 tm CO2 laser. The results are found to be in a good qualitative agreement with available experimental observations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
