초록

We investigated the laser pulse-width dependence of dense plasmas confined within the magnetic length of $In_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}As$/GaAs multiple quantum wells under high magnetic fields up to 31 T. To fully fill the Landau levels of effectively zero-dimensional system, we used intense femtosecond (fs) laser pulses to create carrier densities near $10^{13}/cm^2$. The observed photoluminescence showed a characteristic of superfluorescence, above critical magnetic field when being excited by pulses shorter than coherence buildup time.
