Abstract
It is theoretically shown that an extremely low saturation intensity (<0.05 mW/μm2) as well as an ultrafast (~1.3 ps) response are possible in 1.5 μm intersubband absorption in n-doped InGaAs/AlAsSb multiple quantum wells with electron concentration of ~1×1019 cm-3. Such a low saturation intensity is ascribed to the δ-function-like absorption spectra of the intersubband transition and a reduced dephasing rate achieved by high doping
