Abstract

Spectra of magnetoabsorption and Faraday rotation in HgTe/CdHgTe heterostructures with single and double quantum wells in high magnetic fields up to 11 T have been studied by the Fourier-transform spectroscopy method. The study of Faraday rotation spectra makes it possible to determine the sign of resonance circular polarization of transitions between Landau levels of carriers, which allows identifying observed intraband and interband transitions in the far and middle infrared ranges.
