We have observed the saturation of intraband absorption in InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots. The investigated n-doped self-assembled quantum dots exhibit an intraband absorption within the conduction band, which is peaked at an 8 μm wavelength. The saturation of the intraband absorption is achieved with an infrared pump delivered by a pulsed free-electron laser. The saturation of the transition is observed for an intensity around approx. 0.6 MW cm-2. The electron relaxation time under intraband excitation is measured by time-resolved pump–probe experiments. An electron relaxation time T[sub 1]approx. 3 ps is reported. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
