Abstract
The paper presents a review of the design and manufacturing technology, methods and results of studying the optical spectra and reflection kinetics of coupled quantum wells A3B5 with thin barriers, as well as the results of using optical shutters developed on their basis to synchronize the modes of a Yb3+:KY(WO4)2 femtosecond laser with a high (about 1 GHz) pulse repetition rate.
