Intersubband lifetimes and free carrier effects in optically pumped far infrared quantum wells laser structures

Electron intersubband lifetimes of 1.8 ps and 2.5 ps were measured in GaAs/AlGaAs asymmetric stepped quantum well samples by using a pump-probe three-beam technique at 4 K to room temperature. At high pump intensities, an absorptive signal of sub-nanosecond lifetime was detected following a normal p...
