Rabi oscillations between minibands are clearly identified under resonant conditions, but we show that their lifetime is controlled by a characteristic time that depends on the superlattice deviation from perfection and is independent of the electric field. Experiments for the observation of the predicted effects are proposed. [[S0163-1829(98)01327-7]. %~
