Theoretical Investigation of Intraband Absorption of Electromagnetic Radiation by Holes in Quantum Wells
Abstract
Using four-band Kane model we calculate intraband absorption coefficient of light by holes followed by their transition to the spin-orbital split-off band for A(III)B(v) semiconductor quantum wells. It is shown that such an absorption mechanism is possible without any participation of a third particle like a phonon or an impurity and this mechanism can give the major contribution to the absorption of light in semiconductor quantum well lasers.
