Abstract

Intersubband absorption is measured in the conduction band of GaAs and stepped GaAs/InxGa1-xAs multiple-quantum-wells confined by narrow AlAs barriers. Enhanced absorption from n = 1 to n = 2 is observed in the stepped wells. This is attributed to relaxation of the intersubband polarisation selection rule.
