A new approach to determining the parameters of a two-dimensional electron gas in InGaN/GaN quantum wells is proposed. It is based on the method of terahertz spectroscopy with time resolution, within the framework of which the terahertz frequencies of two-dimensional plasmon resonances excited in the studied samples of InGaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructures by femtosecond laser pulses at a wavelength of 797 nm were recorded. Oscillating behavior of the output terahertz radiation power with minima in the frequency range 1−5 THz is shown, which is associated with the excitation of plasmon oscillations in a two-dimensional electron gas localized in an InGaN/GaN quantum well. During the processing of terahertz spectra, the effect of renormalization of the effective mass of two-dimensional electron gas, as well as phase modulation near the frequencies of plasmon resonances with an increase in the temperature of the sample from 90 to 170 K, was found. The proposed method is non-contact and can be used in a wide temperature range.

This chapter shows how to calculate the absorption coefficient, optical gain, and radiative recombination rates in quantum wells and superlattices. A detailed treatment of both interband and intersubband transitions is presented, and their differences and similarities are considered in detail. The optical properties of wurtzite quantum wells and zinc-blende quantum wires and dots are also discussed. Finally, the interaction of excitonic transitions with incident light in quantum wells is considered as a model for other two-dimensional materials.
