Abstract
The transfer of electrons and holes from barriers to wells is investigated in strained In1-xGaxAs/InP multiple quantum wells by time-resolved luminescence upconversion with 300 fs time resolution. The transfer times are in the range of a few ps and independent of the Ga content. The investigation of Ga-rich structures allows to observe directly the hole transfer.
