Efficient stimulated emission after fast lateral spreading of carriers due to drift-diffusion processes is found for the case of a slow electron-hole recombination in the passive region. We show that with the large gate-to-graphene distance the drift process always precedes the diffusion process, due to the ineffective screening of the inplane electric field by the gates. Conditions for lasing with a gain above 100 cm$^{-1}$ are found for cases of single- and multi-layer graphene placed in the waveguide formed by the top and back gates. Both the waveguide losses and temperature effects are analyzed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-07-14T22:59:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "multi-split-gated graphene structure", "transient stimulated emission", "transient population inversion", "inplane electric field", "large gate-to-graphene distance" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/0022-3727/47/5/055103", "journal": "Journal of Physics D Applied Physics", "year": 2014, "month": "Feb", "volume": 47, "number": 5, "pages": "055103" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014JPhD...47e5103S" } } }
