Abstract
It is demonstrated that the frequency spectrum of femtosecond pulses becomes highly asymmetric when propagating as transverse magnetic modes in semiconductor multiple quantum well channel waveguides at photon energies near half the band gap. Calculations based on the frequency dispersion in two-photon transitions provide results consistent with the experiment.
