Abstract

The photoluminescence of GaAs / AlAs source multiple quantum wells structures under optical ps excitation is investigated for carrier densities in the range 1018−4 × 1019 cm−3 with frequency and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. The measurements give a direct evidence of the occurrence in the sample of carrier heating. This energy up-conversion gives rise to photoluminescence from the states near the Fermi level whose intensity and time evolution depend on the carrier density in a strongly non-linear way. The observed behaviour can be explained introducing in the carrier dynamics an up-conversion mechanism due to Auger-like processes.
