Abstract
Terahertz emission spectra in a longitudinal electric field and lateral photoconductivity spectra under terahertz illumination have been studied in structures with GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs). It is shown that the spectra contain features associated with electron transitions involving resonant impurity states related to the second quantum-well subband. Calculations of the energy spectrum of impurity states and matrix elements of optical transitions made by taking into account various positions of the impurity relative to the QW center confirm the assumptions made.
