Abstract :
Summary form only given. We performed experiments where a near-infrared (NIR) probe laser beam is mixed with an intense terahertz (THz) pump beam in a gated, asymmetric double quantum-well The THz field couples to an excitonic intersubband excitation while the NIR field couples to an excitonic interband excitation.
