Excitonic Dynamical Franz-Keldysh Effect

The Dynamical Franz-Keldysh Effect is exposed by exploring near-bandgap absorption in the presence of intense THz electric fields. It bridges the gap between the DC Franz- Keldysh effect and multi-photon absorption and competes with the THz AC Stark Effect in shifting the energy of the excitonic resonance. A theoretical model which includes the strong THz field non-perturbatively via a non-equilibrium Green Functions technique is able to describe the Dynamical Franz-Keldysh Effect in the presence of excitonic absorption.Comment: 4 pages in revtex with 5 figures included using epsf.

Effect of well-width on the electro-optical properties of a quantum well

We record photoreflectance from Ge/GeSi modulation doped quantum wells possessing $10^4$ V/cm perpendicular electric fields. Qualitatively very different spectra are obtained from samples of well-width 100 \AA and 250 \AA. Comparing the wavefunctions calculated from an $8 \times 8$ \textbf{k.p} theory, we find that while they remain confined in the narrower 100 \AA QW, the electric field causes them to tunnel into the forbidden gap in the 250 \AA\ well. This implies that the samples should show a transition from the quantum confined Franz-Keldysh effect to the bulk-like Franz-Keldysh effect. Close to the band-edge where Franz-Keldysh effects are important, simulated photoreflectance spectra reproduce the essential features of the experiment, without any adjustable parameters.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures.
