摘要：
We present a study of the e1-e2 intersubband absorption in modulation doped GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As MQW's that are photoexcited by interband radiation. A comprehensive study of the photoinduced absorption (PIA) strength as a function of exciting (laser) intensity and modulation frequency indicates that only a subgroup of the photoexcited electrons contribute to the PIA. These electrons are long lived in MQW's with a 2DEG density in the range of 1-3 x 10(10) cm-2. The existence of long lived electrons is explained by a model based on localized, photoexcited holes, that have a reduced radiative recombination rate with the 2DEG. We calculate this recombination rate and show that it is much longer than that of free electrons and holes.
