Abstract

We report photoinduced electron intersubband absorption in ZnSe/BeTe type-II superlattices. The wavelength of the intersubband transition as short as 1.6 μm, covering the 1.55 μm optical communication wavelengths within its absorption band width (∼250 nm), is achieved in the ZnSe/BeTe SLs with 4.5 ML-thick ZnSe layers. The intensity in photoinduced intersubband absorption increases sublinearly with pump intensity, reflecting the characteristic recombination processes of electron-hole pairs in a heterostructure with type-II band alignment.
