Second Harmonic Generation at the Quantum-Interference Induced Transparency in Semiconductor Quantum Wells: The Influence of Permanent Dipole Moments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of permanent dipole moments of quantized states on intersubband second harmonic generation based on quantum-interference induced transparency in semiconductor quantum wells is explored using the harmonic balance method. The permanent moments are found to be quite important: they affect the transparency condition, especially at larger pump intensities. Hence, both the conversion efficiency and the optimal interaction path length change significantly when accounting for the permanent moments, and the conversion efficiency is reduced.

Ultraslow bright and dark solitons in semiconductor quantum wells
We study the low-intensity light pulse propagation through an asymmetric double quantum well via Fanotype interference based on intersubband transitions. The propagation of the pulse across the quantum well is studied analytically and numerically with the coupled Maxwell-Schrödinger equations. We show the generation of ultraslow bright and dark optical solitons in this system. Whether the solit...

DC-electric field, being screened in 3D semiconductors, normally decays monotonically in space. Experimental studies of the DC electric field screening in Si-SiO 2 multiple quantum wells by electric field induced optical second-harmonic generation show a non-monotonic, oscillatory-like decay. The model of electrons localized inside quantum wells, with the first subband occupied, allows a descri...

Thermal variation of PL peak energy of undoped nitride semiconductor quantum well shows a successive red-blue-red shifted emission (S-shaped behavior). This behavior has been attributed to the localization of excitons at the energy minima induced by the potential fluctuations in the quantum well structure and/or interface roughness. The S-shaped behavior of PL peak position, the thermal variati...
متن کاملControlling of Absorption and Dispersion Spectrum via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
In this paper we examine the absorption and dispersion properties of a weak probe field via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) in a four-level system. It is shown that under certain condition, using this model, the absorption cancellation is appeared and the medium becomes transparent to the weak probe field. It will be shown that the controlling of absorption and dispersion spectru...
متن کاملOptimization of Resonant Second- and Third-Order Nonlinearities in Step and Continuously Graded Semiconductor Quantum Wells
Methods for systematic optimization of step-graded and continuously graded ternary alloy based quantum wells (QW’s), in respect to secondor third-order intersubband nonlinear susceptibilities at resonance, are discussed. The use of these methods is examplified on the design of AlxGa1 xN and AlxGa1 xAs-based QW’s intended for resonant second harmonic or third harmonic generation with h! = 116 me...
