Abstract

The method to determine mobility-lifetime products of photoexcited electrons and holes in semi-insulating GaAs-AlGaAs quantum wells structures is proposed. The method is based on measurements of a photoconductivity and optical investigations of a photorefractive material response in wave-mixing setup using the running grating technique.
