摘要
We report the first observation of intersubband absorption at 1.3 mu m in a coupled InGaGs-AlAsSb double-quantum-well structure lattice matched to InP substrate, The novel structure exhibits intersubband transitions concurrently at 1.3 and 1.55 mu m due to the strong coupling of the intersubband states of the adjacent wells. A transient analysis of optical response in the multilevel conduction subband states for the designed structure indicates ultrafast optical switching behavior with a subpicosecond response.
