Notes:
We present a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of intra- and intersubband carrier relaxation in GaAs/AlAs quantum wells following femtosecond laser excitation at low density. Time-resolved optical absorption has been measured using 125 fs pulses from a tunable Ti:sapphire laser which allows carriers to be excited preferentially into different subbands. The experiments have been analyzed using a multi-subband Monte Carlo simulation which contains all the important scattering mechanisms. Electron-phonon scattering rates obtained from dielectric continuum theory have been used, and we find excellent agreement with the experiment. The dominance of interface phonons in intrasubband relaxation is confirmed. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
