چکیده

We have studied intersubband absorption in strain compensated InxGa12xAs/AlAs/InyAl12yAs multiple quantum wells and superlattices grown on InP. X-ray diffraction shows that the layers are pseudomorphically strained and exhibit slight compositional grading of the interfaces. Owing to the high AlAs barriers, the intersubband absorption can be tailored to wavelengths shorter than 2 mm. In some samples, a small, but non-negligible absorption is also observed with s-polarized light. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1592315#

Near-infrared intersubband transitions in InGaAs–AlAs–InAlAs double quantum wells

Intersubband optical transitions at short wavelengths in strain-compensated In0.70Ga0.30As—AlAs double quantum wells are investigated by means of mid-infrared absorption. Trade-offs between achieving a high transition energy and a large oscillator strength of the two highest-energy intersubband transitions using our strain-compensation approach are analyzed as a function of the widths of the tw...

Highly efficient four-wave mixing via intersubband transitions in InGaAs/AlAs coupled double quantum well structures

We perform a time-dependent analysis of continuous wave (cw) four-wave mixing (FWM) in InGaAs/AlAs coupled double quantum well (CDQW) structures via intersubband transitions. By using the coupled Schrödinger–Maxwell approach, we obtain the corresponding explicit analytical expressions for the input probe and FWM-generated signal fields. We calculated the dependencies of the efficiency of the FW...

A new aluminum-free material system for intersubband emitters and detectors

We report on the InGaAs/GaAsSb material system lattice-matched to InP for intersubband devices. Due to the much lower electron effective mass in the GaAsSb barrier material, this system is very promising for the realization of high performance intersubband devices, like quantum-cascade lasers and quantum well infrared photodetectors. Type I intersubband absorption in InGaAs/GaAsSb multi-quantum...
