A picosecond time‐of‐flight experiment is performed for GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well structures at 77 K in order to obtain diffusion constants and trapping rates of carriers by quantum wells. Analysis of the data by a diffusion model gives an ambipolar diffusion constant of Al x Ga 1− x As ( x ≈ 0.35) of 16 cm 2 /s and a capture efficiency of carriers by a single quantum well with 5 nm width of 0.75.
