Abstract

It is shown that the asymmetry of a double quantum well structure considerably affects the dispersion relations for the optical and intersubband plasmons. A specific mechanism of the plasmon damping arises due to a resonance of the plasmon energy and that of single-particle intersubband transitions. If the population of the subbands is inverted, an amplification of the plasma waves becomes possible.
