    摘要: A THz-QCL element operable at an unexplored frequency is obtained. A crystal of a nitride semiconductor is used to fabricate a repeated set of unit structures 32 into a superlattice. Each unit structure includes a first barrier layer B1, a first well layer W1, a second barrier layer B2, and a second well layer W2 disposed in this order, an energy level structure for electrons under a bias electric field has a mediation level L1, an upper lasing level L3, and a lower lasing level L2. The energy value of the mediation level is close to the energy value of one of levels, out of an upper lasing level and a lower lasing level each belonging to one of the unit structure and the other unit structure adjacent thereto, and is separated from the energy value of the other level by at least the energy value of a longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon exhibited by the crystal. For example, the crystal is formed of GaN/AlGaN, the frequency of emitted electromagnetic waves is any frequency within a range of 5 THz to 20 THz, and the unit structures are fabricated by MBE or MOCVD techniques.
