## Abstract

We theoretically consider the amplification of THz radiation in a superlattice Bloch oscillator. The main dilemma in the realization of THz Bloch oscillator is finding operational conditions which allow simultaneously to achieve gain at THz frequencies and to avoid destructive space-charge instabilities. A possible solution to this dilemma is the extended Limited Space-Charge Accumulation scheme of Kroemer (H. Kroemer, cond-mat/0009311). Within the semiclassical miniband transport approach we extend its range of applicability by considering a difference in the relaxation times for electron velocity and electron energy. The kinetics of electrons and fields establishing a stationary signal in the oscillator is also discussed.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
