Abstract

A theoretical investigation of the dynamics of intersubband transitions in modulation doped multiple narrow GaAs / AlxGa1-xAs quantum well structures by emission of GaAs (well) and AlxGa1-xAs (barrier) slab and interface mode polar optical phonons is presented. Photo-excited carrier behavior is interpreted via Monte Carlo simulations which predict long time constants for electron relaxation.
