摘要
We report strong room-temperature intersubband absorption in 80 A strain-compensated In0.84Ga0.16As/AlAs/In0.52Al0.48As double-barrier quantum wells grown on InP substrates. From the multiple Gamma-Gamma intersubband transitions observed, it is inferred that the electron effective masses and nonparabolicity parameters for the first two subbands differ significantly from each other. For the range ksimilar to5x10(6)-6x10(6) cm(-1), the difference in subband parameters results in a change in transition energy of about twice the value calculated for the corresponding GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well.
