Abstract
Due to their many-particle character and their application in quantum cascade lasers, optical intersubband excitations in semiconductor quantum wells have become the focus of many recent publications [1,2]. In samples of high quality, intrinsic processes like electron—electron and electron-phonon many particle correlations determine the basic optical and transport properties such as lineshape and ultrafast dynamics. At the same time, intersubband excitations allow the direct investigation of dynamical properties of an important model system of many particle physics — the two-dimensional electron gas. We here present a microscopic theory for the intersubband dynamics and absorption.
