I've been stuck on this problem for a few days now, I really can't see how to proceed. I believe I have successfully completed the first part of the question but can't do the second part. I have found the equation for the Fermi energy in a quantum cascade laser but it depends on temperature and I am not given a temperature to work with. Any help would be really appreciated.
