The motion and photon emission of electrons in a superlattice may be described as in an undulator. Therefore, there is a close analogy between ballistic electrons in a superlattice and electrons in a free electron laser (FEL). Touching upon this analogy the intensity of photon emission in the IR region and the gain are calculated. It is shown that the amplification can be significant, reaching tens of percent.
