in Room-Temperature Quantum Wells," Appl. Phys. Lett. 48, 864-866 (1986). The authors investigate the dynamics of excitonic optical absorption in room-temperature GaAs quantum wells during the application of a rapidly changing electric field in the plane of the quantum well layers. They obtain electroabsorptive modulation with a response time constant of 330 fs, which is the fastest ever reported in a semiconductor |
