Abstract

Using the Foreman effective mass Hamiltonian for InxGa 1-xAs/InyGa1-yAszP1-z quantum wells, the propagation of a 150 fs pulse in an optical amplifier was calculated taking into account the multi-subband carrier dynamics and heating as well as the polarization dynamics. The intensity of the propagated pulse as well as its imposed frequency chirp, the carrier density and temperature show strong Rabi oscillations. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
