With appropriate selections of wavelength and pulse recompression, subpicosecond pulses at various wavelengths can be obtained for both nondegenerate and degenerate pump-probe experiments with various polarization combinations. Two samples of different quantum-well structures are compared. It is found that the carrier capture times (defined as the time period to reach probe transmission maximum after the pump) are in the range from 15 to 50 ps in the samples used. In the degenerate pump-probe measurements, a two-component decay is observed for one of the samples in the case of TM pump and TE probe.application/pdf381388 bytesapplication/pdfen-USCharged carrier processor; Quantum-well devices[SDGs]SDG7Charge carriers; Electron energy levels; Heterojunctions; Light measurement; Light polarization; Optical pumping; Probes; Semiconductor quantum wells; Carrier capture processes; Multiple quantum well (MQW) waveguides; Pump probe studies; Optical waveguidesjournal article10.1109/68.5881762-s2.0-0031146083http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/144115/1/03.pdf
