Ultrashort-pulse-controlled all-optical modulation by interband and intersubband transitions in doped quantum wells

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The optimum condition for achieving highly efficient ultrafast all-optical pulse modulation by modification of the absorption of a pulsed interband light field by ultrasubband control-light pulses in a doped quantum well is investigated. The modulation efficiency in the femtosecond domain can be maximized by an intersubband control light with a pulse width (200 fs) that is comparable with the phase-relaxation time of the system and an intensity that is close to the intersubband saturation intensity.
