Abstract ： Calculating the refractive index dispersions considering the influence of doping concentration on refractive indices, we have illustrated the heavily doped contact layers, n = 1 x 1019 cm-3 for λ ~ 9 μm, and n ~ 1 x 1020 cm-3 for λ = 5μm quantum cascade lasers, to suppress the refractive indices and get sufficient optical confinement. By calculating the transmission of energies through a graded gap superlattice, it is demonstrated that for energies E1 and E2 (the two lower states) the electrons can easily get through the graded gap superlattice. While for energy E3 the graded gap superlattice creates a minigap (the transmission of the energies E1 and E2 is 102 times more than that of E3 ). In this way, the electrical confinement can be achieved.
