Abstract
We report the first reliable estimate of the saturation intensity in InGaAs/AlAsSb quantum wells using the homogeneous linewidth estimated from a careful lineshape analysis of the absorption spectra recorded as a function of temperature and the pump-probe relaxation time (/spl tau//spl ap/2.1 psec) at room temperature. The estimated value of saturation intensity is 52/spl plusmn/5 MW cm/sup 2/ at an excitation wavelength of 1.92 /spl mu/m. We performed a direct saturation measurement to estimate the linear absorption coefficient (/spl alpha//sub 0/) and the 3rd order susceptibility (/spl chi//sup (3)/). We observed a giant /spl chi//sup (3)/ of about 8.2/spl times/10/sup -15/ m/sup 2//V/sup 2/. The linear absorption coefficient is evaluated to be 3370 cm/sup -1/. From these values we estimated the figure of merit to be 1.2/spl times/10/sup -8/ m/sup 3/ V/sup -2/s/sup -1/ in this material.
