Abstract
In an optosemiconductor device including a superlattice configuration (TBQ) of first and second quantum well layers and a potential barrier therebetween, photo-excited carriers are formed in the first quantum well layer and are tunnelled through the potential barrier toward the second quantum well layer, so that the tunneled carriers are accumulated in the second quantum well layer. An electric field is applied to the superlattice configuration to expel the tunneled carriers from the second quantum well layer.
