摘要
Intersubband absorption of radiation by a two-dimensional electron gas can be used to control the electron temperature and effect a significant modulation of the interband optical properties of the semiconductor in the quantum well. We discuss the implementation of a fast modulator of infrared radiation for fiber-optical communications as well as the formation of powerful and short single-mode infrared pulses.
