We have measured two-photon-absorption spectra of GaAs/Al 0.4 Ga 0.6 As quantum-well structures in a static electric field for photon energies near half the band gap energy, and found drastic field-induced-changes in the spectra. The two-photon-absorption peak at half the energy of the lowest light-hole exciton is induced by the static electric field normal to the quantum well layers, in agreement with a theory that takes account of quasi-two-dimensional exciton effects. With increasing the electric field, however, this peak grows more drastically than the theoretical prediction, and it approaches a large value predicted by another simplified theory based on a two-level model.

Nonlinear Behaviors

Nonlinear processes in quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIP) are reviewed. Being an intersubband dipole transition based photoconductor, the nonlinear behaviors in QWIPs are caused by both the (extrinsic) photoconductive transport mechanism and (intrinsic) nonlinear optical processes. Extrinsic nonlinearity leads to a degradation of QWIP performance at high incident power or low operating temperatures. Some intrinsic nonlinear QWIP properties are useful in applications, such as in autocorrelation of short pulses by two-photon absorption. The general area of QWIP nonlinear properties has not been extensively investigated. We point out some directions for further studies and hope to stimulate more research activities.
