Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The intersubband transition (ISBT) in nitride quantum wells is expected to be applicable to ultrafast optical switches. Effect of the built-in field caused by the piezoelectric effect and the spontaneous polarization inherent in nitrides on the ISBT is studied. Measured intersubband absorption wavelengths of Al_<0.65>Ga_<0.35>N/GaN multiquantum wells suggest the existence of a built-in field of about 2MV/cm. The built-in field in a thick well drastically shortens the ISBT wavelength and increases the intersubband relaxation time. On the other hand, the built-in field in barriers affects the formation of the second subband in thin wells. Suppression of the field in the barriers is important in achieving a short wavelength ISBT.
