摘要
We investigate intersubband Rabi flopping in modulation-doped semiconductor quantum wells with and without the propagation effects. respectively. It is shown that propagation effects have a larger impact oil Rabi flopping than the nonlinearities rooted from electron-electron interactions in multiple quantum wells. By using ultrashort pi pulses, an almost complete population inversion exists if the propagation effects are not considered; while no complete population inversion occurs in the presence of propagation effects. Furthermore. the magnitude of the impact of propagation effects may be controlled by varying the carrier density.
