摘要
Values for the nonlinearity and recovery time of 1.55 mum intersubband absorption have been experimentally obtained for the first time by using InGaAs/AlAs/AlAsSb coupled quantum wells. The third-order susceptibility (chi ((3))) has been evaluated to be 5.8x10-(17)m(2)/V-2. An ultrafast recovery time (tau) of similar to 685fs has been obtained while keeping the figure of merit (chi ((3))/alpha tau) as large as those of interband transitions.
