An echo of an exciting light pulse in quantum wells

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The non-sinusoidal character oscillations appear in the transmitted, reflected and absorbed light fluxes when light pulses irradiate a semiconductor quantum well (QW), containing a large number of the equidistant energy levels of electronic excitations. A damping echo of the exciting pulse appears through the time intervals 2π/ΔE2\pi\hbar/\Delta E in the case of the very short light pulses γl1/ΔE\gamma_l^{-1}\ll\hbar/\Delta E.
