Abstract(in English) Intersubband transition (ISB-T) in quantum well has been drawing much attention due to its unique properties such as ultrafast relaxation time. We have proposed and demonstrated ultrafast all-optical modulator utilizing the ISB-T. In addition, we have shortened the ISB-T wavelength (up to 1.9~2.8μm) for practical applications. In this report, we show the first direct measurement result of the energy relaxation time in the short wavelength ISB-T. One color pump & probe measurements are performed, and the energy relaxation time of 2.5μm ISB-T is shown to be ~2.7ps. Discussion of the relaxation process are carried out from the view point of the dependence of relaxation time on transition wavelength.
