Infinite-order excitonic BLOCH equations for asymmetric nanostructures.

چکیده
We present a new exciton-based formalism for calculating the coherent response of asymmetric semiconductor multiple quantum well structures to ultrashort optical pulses valid to infinite order in the optical field and including the self-generated intraband fields. We use these equations to calculate and explain the oscillations with time delay of peaks in the spectrally resolved degenerate four-wave mixing signals from biased semiconductor superlattices, obtaining good agreement with experiment.

Prolongation Loop Algebras for a Solitonic System of Equations
We consider an integrable system of reduced Maxwell–Bloch equations that describes the evolution of an electromagnetic field in a two-level medium that is inhomogeneously broadened. We prove that the relevant Bäcklund transformation preserves the reality of the n-soliton potentials and establish their pole structure with respect to the broadening parameter. The natural phase space of the model ...
متن کاملSlow light using excitonic population oscillation
We develop a theoretical model for slow light using excitonic population oscillation in a semiconductor quantum well. In a two-level system, if the resonant pump and the signal have a difference frequency within the range of inverse of the carrier lifetime, coherent population beating at this frequency will be generated. We analyze the excitonic population oscillation using an atomiclike model ...
متن کاملTime-dependent density-functional approach for exciton binding energies
Optical processes in insulators and semiconductors, including excitonic effects, can be described in principle exactly using time-dependent density-functional theory TDDFT . Starting from a linearization of the TDDFT semiconductor Bloch equations in a two-band model, we derive a simple formalism for calculating exciton binding energies. This formalism leads to a generalization of the standard W...

Steady-state Ab Initio Laser Theory and its Applications in Random and Complex Media Li Ge 2010 A semiclassical theory of single and multimode lasing, the Steady-state Ab Initio Laser Theory (SALT), is presented in this thesis. It is a generalization of the previous work by Türeci et al which determines the steady-state solutions of the Maxwell-Bloch (MB) equations, based on a set of self-consi...

A unified microscopic theoretical framework for the calculation of optical excitations in molecular and semiconductor materials is presented. The hierarchy of many-body density matrices for a pair-conserving many-electron model and the Frenkel exciton model is rigorously truncated to a given order in the radiation field. Closed equations of motion are derived for five generating functions repre...
