Abstract
Absorption cancellation via tunneling induced Fano interference in semiconductor quantum wells is studied in the presence of the Coulomb interaction between electrons. For a small subband dispersion, gain or loss is determined by single-electron Fano interference. For a large subband dispersion, collective excitations dominate the absorption spectrum and are crucial for the observability of tunneling induced transparency, which exists in spite of subband dispersion. Pumping destroys collective excitations; therefore gain without inversion is possible only for small subband dispersion.
