Abstract

The intersubband absorption of electrons in modulation doped Si/Si1−xGex multiple quantum wells has been observed [1]. Various samples with different well widths and carrier densities have been studied. Narrow absorption lines are observed in waveguide geometry. Self consistent subband calculations are in good agreement with the experimental values.
