Popis: We present evidence for coupling between spatially separated excitonic states in a GaAs symmetric coupled quantum well. A split excitonic peak is observed in the photoluminescence spectrum of our sample and is identified as due to islands of monolayer fluctuation in the well width. We use the technique of far-infrared modulated photoluminescence to show that a resonant coupling exists between the excitonic states when the incident far-infrared photon energy is approximately equal to the splitting as measured in the photoluminescence spectrum. The most likely mechanism for this coupling is the dipole–dipole interaction.
