A mechanism for the generation of population inversion and far-infrared emission in Si with shallow donors is investigated. By optically pumping a phosphorus doped Si crystal with a CO2 laser it was possible to achieve population inversion between the metastable 2p0 state and the 1s(E) and 1s(T) states. Spontaneous emission from these transitions was detected. Frequency measurements of this emission are in agreement with the expected transition frequency. Absorption measurements with a far-infrared probe laser confirm the existence of population inversion between the 2p0 state and the 1s(E) and 1s(T) states.
