摘要
We studied the superlinearity of the photoluminescence intensity and its temperature dependence in GaAs/Ga1-xAlxAs heterojunctions by means of pump-probe experiments. The photoluminescence intensity of the second laser pulse increases drastically when the heterojunction is pre-excited by a short laser pulse. We attribute this superlinearity to the vertical transport of the photoexcited carriers driven by the interface electric field, and the subsequent bimolecular exciton formation.
