Abstract
We discuss the dephasing of quantum beat oscillation related to the intersubband transition between heavy-hole and light-hole excitons in a GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum well as measured by a pump-probe technique. We investigate the dependence of dephasing on temperature and pump energy. The analysis of the time-domain signals reveals that a strong quantum beat induces the rapid dephasing related to intersubband transition; the dependencies of the dephasing rate correspond to those of the amplitude. This implies that a quantum beat is useful in applications utilizing an ultrafast optical response.
