We fabricated a coupled multilayer cavity with a GaAs/Ge/GaAs sublattice reversal structure for terahertz emission application. Sublattice reversal in GaAs/Ge/GaAs was confirmed by comparing the anisotropic etching profile of an epitaxial sample with those of reference (113)A and (113)B GaAs substrates. The interfaces of GaAs/Ge/GaAs were evaluated at the atomic level by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping. Defect-free GaAs/Ge/GaAs heterostructures were observed in STEM images and the sublattice lattice was directly seen through atomic arrangements in EDX mapping. A GaAs/AlAs coupled multilayer cavity with a sublattice reversal structure was grown on the (113)B GaAs substrate after the confirmation of sublattice reversal. Smooth GaAs/AlAs interfaces were formed over the entire region of the coupled multilayer cavity structure both below and above the Ge layer. Two cavity modes with a frequency difference of 2.9 THz were clearly observed.
