Evidence for Intervalence Band Coherences in Semiconductor Quantum Wells via Coherently Coupled Optical Stark Shifts

Michael E. Donovan, Axel Schülzgen, J. Lee +9 more

We report the experimental observation of coherently coupled heavy-hole-light-hole Stark shifts, i.e., light-hole exciton shifts under heavy-hole exciton pumping conditions, in InGaAs quantum wells. The theoretical analysis of the data is based on a full many-body approach (dynamics-controlled truncation formalism) in the third-order nonlinear optical regime. It is shown that the Stark shift data can be interpreted as strong evidence of suitably defined nonradiative intervalence band coherences in a semiconductor quantum well. Hence, the observations establish a semiconductor analog of Raman coherences in three-level atoms.

Time-frequency spectroscopy of an InGaAs/InP quantum-well exciton Bragg reflector

Kensuke Ogawa, Y. Matsui

Ultrafast absorption saturation in an exciton Bragg reflector, consisting of InGaAs quantum wells embedded in InP/InGaAsP Bragg layers, is characterized by pump-induced transient reflectance spectroscopy at room temperature. Spectral modulation of the reflected probe pulses is caused by ultrafast absorption saturation of excitons in the quantum wells. The spectral modulation leads to an optical phase shift of 1.6 π. The exciton-induced phase shift is more than four times as large as that induced by free carriers in a Bragg reflector.
