Popis: The effect of an intense THz irradiation on the relative intersubband absorption of electrons in stepped quantum wells of GaAs?GaAlAs is theoretically studied. Analytical expressions for the induced current are obtained by means of the adiabatic and resonant approximations within the matrix density formalism. This method allows one to predict the presence of a marked fine structure on the absorption, together with a shift and broadening of the absorption peaks, when the pump intensity is around the megawatts level.
