Abstrakt: The photoresponse to a short optical pulse of a GaAs p-n junction containing an undoped asymmetric GaAs/AlAs superlattice is reported. The response to a light pulse of <400 fs duration has been measured and a rise time of 80 ps is observed. The trailing edge of the response exhibits a long time tail, which is thought to be dominated by the time taken to tunnel through the thickest barrier, being the Γ-Γ separation of the GaAs and AlAs of a 3-nm barrier.
