Lett. 97, 251106 (2010) and may be found at https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3529447.In time-resolved experiments at InGaAs/GaAs quantum-dots-in-a-well (DWELL) semiconductor optical amplifiers, pump-probe of the ground state (GS) population, and complementary measurement of the amplified spontaneous emission of the excited state (ES) population, we are able to separate the early subpicosecond dephasing dynamics from the later picosecond population relaxation dynamics. We observe a 10 ps delay between the nonlinear GS pulse amplification and the subsequent ES population drop-off that supports the dominance of a direct two dimensional reservoir-GS capture relaxation path in electrically pumped quantum-dot-DWELL structures.en530 PhysikCoulomb scatteringsemiconductor optical amplifierselectronic transportelectrical properties and parameterschemical dynamicsamplified spontaneous emissionpump probe experimentsstreak camerasquantum dotslasersArticle1077-3118
