We present the first magneto-absorption studies of coupled electron double layers in the quantum Hall regime. Optical absorption spectra in the vicinity of total filling factor nu = 1 reveal intriguing behavior that have no analog in the single electron layer nu = 1 state and demonstrate the interplay between single-particle tunneling and inter-layer Coulomb effects. The spectra provide direct evidence of a ground-state that evolves from a region dominated by single-particle tunneling to a regime in which inter-layer Coulomb interactions determine the nature of the ground-state. Moreover the spectra provide the first direct evidence that the incompressible ground-state at nu = 1 in the many-body regime is not fully pseudospin polarized and is sensitive to the effects of quantum fluctuations in the pseudospin variable.
