摘要
Intersubband electroluminescence is investigated in structures where two excited states are coupled hv tunneling to a common continuum, and exhibit a clear sign of destructive interference in absorption spectroscopy. We show that, in addition to the nonreciprocity between the matrix elements for absorption and emission, the difference between the absorption and emission profiles has its origin also in the electron distribution of the injector.
