Popis: In‐plane transport in an InAs/GaAs semiconductor hetero‐n‐i‐p‐i has been investigated using picosecond transient grating techniques and an order‐of‐magnitude enhancement of the ambipolar transport relative to that measured in a similar undoped sample has been demonstrated. Both the magnitude and the density dependence of this enhanced transport are consistent with an additional driving force that is associated with an in‐plane modulation of the screened n‐i‐p‐i field. This modulation is the result of the spatial separation by perpendicular transport of electrons and holes that also have an in‐plane density modulation.
