Abstract

A coherent superposition of two electronic states E₁ and E₂ in an asymmetric quantum well was set up to observe mid-infrared pulses to investigate the intersubband relaxations. The corresponding quantum beat between the two states results in an oscillating dipole radiating a mid-infrared wave. This emission is measured by measuring its linear correlation with an ultra-short mid-infrared pulse transmitted through the sample. In addition to coherence relaxation, this technique allows for observation of the population relaxation from the upper level E₁ to the lower level E₂ in a direct manner.
