Abstract
The interaction of electrons with LO phonons provides an important mechanism of optical dephasing and carrier scattering for the two-dimensional electron gas in semiconductor quantum wells. In this paper, the corresponding ultrafast nonlinearities for off-resonant and resonant intersubband excitations are investigated. Quantum kinetic effects of the electron-phonon interaction and the corresponding violation of the microscopic energy conservation yield a qualitative different picture compared to the standard Markovian theory, if the phonon energy is larger than the intersubband-gap energy.
