  • Abstract
    A sampling method using fast photodetector diodes has been used for the first time to measure weak photoluminescence signals from AlxGa1¿xAs (x = 0.38) layers and GaAs/ AlGaAs (x = 0.33, 10 A°10 A°) superlattices. The method has a very high sensitivity of at least 20 photons/pulse and time resolution is limited only by the photodetector speed.
