Time Evolution of Excitonic Absorption Bleaching of Resonant Tunneling Bi-Quantum-Well Structures

Atsushi Tackeuchi, Shunichi Muto, Tsuguo Inata +1 more

We report the time evolution of excitonic absorption bleaching in resonant tunneling bi-quantum-well (TBQ) structures, in which the ground electron level in a narrow well has the same energy as the second electron level in a wide well. In resonant TBQ structure, we observed a reduction in the absorption recovery time and an increase in the tail-to-peak ratio of the absorption change. By comparing the absorption change of resonant TBQ with the e2-hh2 excitonic absorption change of conventional multiple quantum wells (MQW), we show that the increase in the tail-to-peak ratio of a resonant TBQ can be attributed to the thermally remaining holes in the first excited subband of heavy holes.

Fast recovery of excitonic absorption bleaching in tunneling biquantum well structures

Atsushi Tackeuchi, Shunichi Muto, Tsuguo Inata +1 more

This letter demonstrates the fast recovery from excitonic absorption bleaching in tunneling biquantum well structures. A tunneling biquantum well consists of a series of narrow and wide wells. Recovery time was reduced to 1 ps using 1.7-nm-thick tunneling barriers, three orders of magnitude shorter than the few nanoseconds recovery due to radiative recombination. This is the fastest tunneling process observed to date.

2D optical photon echo spectroscopy of a self‐assembled quantum dot

Benjamin Philipp Fingerhut, Marten Richter, Jun‐Wei Luo +2 more

Simulations of two dimensional coherent photon echo (2D‐PE) spectra of self‐assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QD) in different charged states are presented revealing the coupling between the individual mono‐exciton transitions and contributions of bi‐excitons . The information about the states is crucial for various application scenarios of QDs, like e.g. highly efficient solar cells. The simulations rely on a microscopic description of the electronic structure by high‐level atomistic many‐body pseudopotential calculations. It is shown that asymmetric diagonal peak shapes and double cross‐peaks are the result of state contributions to the PE signal by analyzing the contributions of the individual pathways excited state emission, ground state bleach and excited state absorption. The results show that from the detuned and contributions the bi‐exciton binding energies of the manifold are revealed in 2D‐PE signals.
