Abstract

From a comparison of the thermoreflectance (first-derivative spectroscopy) and photoreflectance [electromodulation (EM)] spectra at 300K and 77K from a GaAs/Ga0.82A10.18As multiple quantum well structure we have obtained important information about the mechanisms of gm for uncoupled and coupled states. At 300K EM produces a third-derivative lineshape for the latter due to low-field modulation of tunneling states, while for the former a first-derivative is observed, related to modulation of exciton transitions. At 77K both coupled and uncoupled states yield a first-derivative lineshape due to these excitonic effects.
