Abstract
Polarization-resolved four-wave mixing spectroscopy is used to study interwell carrier dynamics in an alternating-strain multiquantum-well optical amplifier. The experimental data are found to be in good agreement with a simple model based on quantum capture/escape and diffusion processes. The results suggest that the interwell transport in this structure is mainly limited by carrier escape, and give an estimate of 16 ps for the overall transport lifetime.
