Abstract

We investigate the effect of excess excitonic populations created by resonant ultrashort excitation on the optical-absorption properties of GaAs quantum wells. We find that under these conditions at room temperature excitons produce more absorption bleaching than equal densities of free-carrier pairs. This bleaching partly recovers as the excitons ionize to give free carriers. Hence, we directly measure the thermal ionization time of excitons at room temperature for the first time, and find that $\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\sim}300$ fs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
