Abstract

Summary form only given. We report on the observation of coherent intersubband beats in time-domain femtosecond experiments on a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas. The sample is a 400-Å one-sided modulation-doped GaAs-AlGaAs single quantum-well grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The top Al0.2Ga0.8As layer contains Si donors which are separated from the GaAs quantum well by a thick undoped space layer. The areal density of the electron gas at the interface is ρ ≈ 2 × 1011 cm-2 and the low-temperature mobility is 1.2 × 106 cm2/Vs. After removal of the substrate, pump-probe experiments were performed at ∼ 7 K in the transmission geometry using a modelocked Ti-sapphire laser. The central wavelength of the pulses was tuned to resonate with excitons associated with heavy-hole states at ∼ 800 nm.
