Abstract

We report on the use of charge transfer between asymmetric double quantum wells (ADQWs) to directly study the broadening of intersubband transitions (ISBTs) as a function of the electron population. Although other mechanisms, such as field- induced scattering over interface roughness and impurities, optical and acoustic- phonons, and width nonuniformity, play a role, it is shown that the broadening is directly related to subband occupation.
