Abstract
Optical phenomena connected with intersubband electron transitions in speci
ally designed structures with tunnel-coupled GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells have
been investigated. The observed birefringence and absorption modulation un
der longitudinal electric held applied parallel to the quantum layers have
been explained by electron heating and electron transfer in real space. (C)
