摘要: Dynamics of carrier relaxation and capture in AlGaAs/GaAs multiple quantum wells (MQW) at 80 K is studied using picosecond luminescence and femtosecond absorption saturation measurements. Carriers generated in the wells and in the barriers scatter initially out of the excited states to a quasi-equilibrium state in 35 and 400 femtoseconds, respectively, before they are captured into the bound states of the quantum wells. Carrier capture occurs during carrier cooling and recombination. A carrier capture time of 25 ps has been deduced from time-resolved luminescence.
