The new proposal of a far-infrared laser employing intraband transitions in
the system of quantum dots is presented [1]. Quantum dot matrix created
by an electric-field focusing in narrow GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well is
examined as the model, and the conditions for inversion of population
of the dot matrix are discussed. The laser is planned to be pumped by
periodically repeated rapid creation and destruction of the quantum dot
matrix allowing for repeated filling of the dot levels with electrons from
a quantum well. The kinetics of the electron-photon system is analyzed in
details in order to determine the characteristics of pumping signal and
other laser parameters. The proposal seems to be promising in view of
nano-integrated electron-optical system. Such a system employs possible
advantages and flexibility of the field-created dot structures, which
could be applied to the classical and the quantum information processing.
