We present time‐resolved photoluminescence studies of perpendicular transport and the subsequent capture of photoexcited carriers in II–VI semiconductor superlattices with an enlarged quantum well. The trapping dynamics are investigated as a function of the superlattice period in the range of 30–80 A˚. We observed an efficient collection of electrons and holes in an enlarged CdTe quantum well confined by a short‐period CdTe/Cd1−xMnxTe superlattice. Both the characteristic time and the efficiency of carrier collection are found to be strongly dependent on the superlattice period. A time constant less of than 25 ps is determined for the carrier collection in a 30‐A˚‐period superlattice. Our experimental findings give evidence of Bloch type perpendicular transport in electron and heavy‐hole minibands.
