Abstract

We investigate the tunneling effect in GaAs-AlxGa1-xAs asymmetric double quantum wells via photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy at different temperatures and laser excitation powers. Results show that the double quantum wells follow a temperature-dependence behavior according to the Varshni equation. Moreover, the excitation power-dependent PL peak of the coupled wells exhibited red shifting with increasing excitation power, presumably due to band gap renormalization.
