Popis: Optical excitation of a semiconductor structure comprising two nonidentical quantum wells (QWs) separated by barriers absorbing the pump radiation has been numerically simulated. It is shown that the equalization of populations in the QWs can be achieved in two ways: (i) shift of the deeper QW to a region of weak carrier generation and (ii) introduction of a blocking layer preventing the transport of carriers.
