This paper reports the first observation of intersubband electroluminescence from a single period resonant tunnelling structure . The emission (λ = 8.4 μm) with a full width at half maximum of 7 meV, was observed from a GaAs/AlGaAs triple barrier structure with quantum well widths of 66 and 33 Å. The emission was coupled out of the sample by a metallic grating deposited on the surface.
