Abstract
Photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation (PLE) experiments on a GaAs/Al0.25Ga0.75As asymmetric coupled double quantum well are reported. In PLE, the seven peaks, four related to the heavy-hole coupled and the rest to the light-hole coupled excitonic states, are observed. The positions of seven peaks observed in PLE are in good agreement with the calculated results of multi-band envelope function approximation using the transfer matrix method. The result of the temperature-dependent PL above 100 K shows that, even though the wavefunctions are localized in different wells separated by 8 monolayer barrier, the heavy-hole coupled excitons in the two lowest levels are in thermal equilibrium. The observed activation energy is equal to the difference between the two levels.
