The linear (LPGE) and circular photogalvanic effects (CPGE), induced by interband (532 nm) and intersubband (1064 nm) excitation, have been investigated in a temperature range from 77 to 300 K in GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional… Click to show full abstract

The linear (LPGE) and circular photogalvanic effects (CPGE), induced by interband (532 nm) and intersubband (1064 nm) excitation, have been investigated in a temperature range from 77 to 300 K in GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas. The temperature dependences of the CPGE current induced by Rashba and Dresselhaus spin orbit coupling (SOC) under the interband and intersubband excitation are obtained, respectively. It is revealed that the CPGE and LPGE current induced by the intersubband excitation almost increases with increasing temperature, while that induced by interband excitation nearly decreases with increasing temperatures. These phenomena may be attributed to the different variation trends of photo-induced carrier density and SOC with increasing temperatures between interband and intersubband excitation. The evolutions of the ratio of the Rashba and Dresselhaus SOC (RD ratios) and the anisotropic ratio of linear photogalvanic tensors, corresponding to the interband and intersubband excitations...
