Abstract
THz emission from a narrow-miniband superlattice excited at its lower band edge reveals a hyperbolic bias dependence of the emission frequency. This reflects the emission from Coulomb-renormalized states, namely the anticrossing between the miniband exciton and the hh—2 and hh—1 Wannier-Stark-Ladder states visible in the interband absorption spectra. An analysis of the intraband and interband dephasing times, respectively, reveals that the intraband dynamics remains to be Coulomb-renormalized even after the dephasing of the interband coherence. This demonstrates that THz emission is dominated by long-lived excitionic contributions, in contrast to predictions at a Hartree-Fock level. The dynamics controlled truncation (DCT) approach taking into account the dynamics of the four-point correlation for the intraband current density is able to account for this experimental observation.
