  • Abstract
    We studied electron-hole behaviors interacted with intense THz pulse in GaAs MQW. THz pulse causes strong modulations of exciton in absorption spectrum. For high THz electric fields, hh exciton energy shows blueshift proportional to THz electric field squared, due to dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect.
