Optical phenomena in the mid-infrared range connected with interlevel and intersubband charge-carrier transitions in quantum dot and quantum well (QW) heterostructures under optical and electrical pumping were investigated. Spectra of interband photoluminescence are also presented. The existence of a metastable level in funnel-shaped QWs is experimentally confirmed. The intersubband transition dynamics in asymmetrical pairs of tunnel-coupled QWs was studied by means of pump-and-probe time-resolved spectroscopy.

This paper was presented at the 3rd Russian Workshop on Nanophotonics, Nizhnii Novgorod, Russia, 26-29 March 2001.
