Abstract

Based on the nonlinear luminescence correlation technique, a new time resolved spectroscopy technique has been developed and applied to the study of hot carrier relaxation processes in GaAs-GaAlAs multiple quantum well structures. We have found that the well width has a significant effect on the relaxation processes. For a sample with LZ=40 Å, the time constant of the LO-phonon relaxation is found to be as long as 42 ps.
