摘要
We report the measurement of the transient intersubband absorption in a coupled quantum well semiconductor structure. Pulsed interband excitation is used to prepare a coherent population in the two lowest states of a three level system of electronic subbands. The time-dependent absorption to the upper state is probed by midinfrared time-domain spectroscopy. For certain pump-probe delay times we observe in the intersubband absorption spectra typical signatures of quantum interference: regions with reduced or enhanced absorption.
