摘要
The dephasing of intersubband transitions in semiconductor heterostructures was investigated by time-resolved THz spectroscopy. Single quantum structures show dephasing rates, which are nearly identical to scattering rates obtained by conventional Hall measurements and allow insight into the dephasing dynamics. In multiple quantum wells, inhomogeneous broadening of the density of states is the main dephasing mechanism. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
