Collective Excitations in InAs Quantum Well Intersubband Transitions
Intersubband transitions in semiconductor quantum wells are studied using a density matrix theory that goes beyond the Hartree-Fock approximation by including the full second order electron-electron scattering terms in the polarization equation for the first time. Even though the spectral features remain qualitatively similar to the results obtained with the dephasing rate approximation, signif...
متن کاملHighly efficient four-wave mixing via intersubband transitions in InGaAs/AlAs coupled double quantum well structures
We perform a time-dependent analysis of continuous wave (cw) four-wave mixing (FWM) in InGaAs/AlAs coupled double quantum well (CDQW) structures via intersubband transitions. By using the coupled Schrödinger–Maxwell approach, we obtain the corresponding explicit analytical expressions for the input probe and FWM-generated signal fields. We calculated the dependencies of the efficiency of the FW...
متن کاملQuantum Well Intersubband Transitions as a Source of Terahertz Radiation
| It is shown that unipolar quantum well systems have potential as sources of terahertz radiation. It is demonstrated that the electronic interactions within these systems must be manipulated in order to favour radiative emission rather than non-radiative loss. Designs are advanced for tunable emitters and optically excited terahertz lasers.
متن کاملUltrashort electromagnetic pulse control of intersubband quantum well transitions
: We study the creation of high-efficiency controlled population transfer in intersubband transitions of semiconductor quantum wells. We give emphasis to the case of interaction of the semiconductor quantum well with electromagnetic pulses with a duration of few cycles and even a single cycle. We numerically solve the effective nonlinear Bloch equations for a specific double GaAs/AlGaAs quantum...
متن کاملHot-phonon-assisted resonant tunneling in a quantum well
We theoretically investigate dc electron resonant tunneling through an impurity state in a quantum well assisted by hot acoustical phonons. Numerical results for the tunneling current, obtained by nonequilibrium Green functions, reflect the hot-phonon-induced change in the spectrum and population of the impurity state. The induced change of the I-V characteristics has a typical two-peak form, w...
