非对称耦合量子阱的吸收非线性增强

基于V 形三能级模型运用密度矩阵方程推导了非对称耦合量子阱三阶光学非线性极化率. 具体分析了三阶吸收非线性效率（三阶光学非线性极化率与线性吸收系数之比）随阱间电子相干振荡频率的变化规律. 理论结果表明：三阶吸收非线性效率对阱间电子相干振荡频率相当敏感，当阱间电子相干振荡频率增大时三阶吸收非线性效率显著增强，而当阱间电子相干振荡频率为零时，这种非线性效率类似于单量子阱情况. 与单量子阱相比，对于已设计好的非对称耦合量子阱结构其突出特征表现在，其非线性吸收与色散特性可经由沿材料生长方向偏压进行控制. 据此，我们预期利用这种非对称耦合量子阱结构能设计成光通信中的光限幅器和可控克尔光开关.

磁场和抛物势对半指数量子阱极化子振动频率的影响

量子阱由于受到受限势的限制作用会体现出特殊的物理特性,在实验中发现量子阱的生长方向受限势必须是强受限势而另外两个方向为非强受限势,所以本文在量子阱的生长方向施加非对称半指数受限势构成了非对称半指数势量子阱,为了深入了解非对称半指数量子阱的结构特征,在其垂直量子阱的生长方向施加各向异性抛物势,同时又增加了磁场对量子阱中电子的限制作用,研究了磁场对该量子阱中弱耦合极化子的影响。通过两次幺正变换和线性组合算符推导出弱耦合极化子的振动频率随抛物势的x与y方向的受限强度、磁场的回旋频率及非对称半指数受限势的两个参数的变化关系。并以处在非对称半指数量子阱中的GaAs半导体晶体进行模拟计算,结果表明:当x与y方向的受限强度及磁场的回旋频率取定值时非对称半指数量子阱中弱耦合极化子的振动频率是受限势参量U_0的增函数,而它是另一个参量σ的减函数,参数的改变是电子声子间耦合加强促进了极化子的形成。当磁场回旋频率及参量U_0和σ取定值时,极化子的振动频率是各向异性抛物势的x方向和y方向的受限强度的增函数,这体现了量子的尺寸限制效应,此外,由于磁场回旋频率随磁场的增大而增大,磁场回旋频率增大时会使极化子受到更强的约束作用,所以振动频率加强。当y方向的受限强度及参量U_0和σ取定值时极化子的振动频率是磁场的回旋频率的增函数。

Transient gain property of a weak probe field in an asymmetric semiconductor coupled double quantum well structure

The transient gain property of a weak probe field in an asymmetric semiconductor coupled double quantum well structure is reported. The transient process of the system, which is induced by the external coherent coupling field, shows the property of no inverse gain. We find that the transient behavior of the probe field can be tuned by the change of tunneling barrier. Both the amplitude of the transient gain and the frequency of the oscillation can be affected by the lifetime broadening.     

Tunneling-induced coherent electron population transfer in an asymmetric quantum well

We propose an asymmetric double quantum wells structure with a common continuum and investigate the effect of resonant tunneling on the control of coherent electron population transfer between the two quantum wells. By numerically solving the motion equations of element moments, the almost complete electron population transfer from the initial subband to the target subband could be realized due to the constructive interference via flexibly adjusting the structure parameters.     

H-在金属面附近光剥离的波包动力学研究

利用波包演化和自关联函数方法对H^-在金属面附近光剥离的波包动力学进行了研究.结果表明,金属面附近光剥离电子的波包演化和回归结构与H^-到金属面的距离、激光脉冲的脉冲宽度和初始动量都有一定的关系.因此,可以通过改变离子表面距离和激光脉冲的参数对光剥离电子的动力学性质进行调控研究.除此之外,光剥离电子的镜像态寿命对波包的演化和自关联函数也会产生一定的影响:考虑镜像态寿命的影响时,随着时间的演化,波包概率密度的振幅逐渐减小,波包整体上有明显的衰减,寿命对波包演化过程中的干涉有削弱的作用;通过对电子波包的自关联函数研究,发现无限长寿命的电子波包有很好的量子回归现象,而当考虑寿命因素后光剥离电子波包随着时间的演化会发生周期性的坍塌和扩散,经过一段时间后,该回归现象消失.本文的理论研究可以为表面附近电子波包动力学的实验研究提供一定的参考价值. 关键词： 波包 演化和回归 自关联函数 金属面

Amplitude and frequency stabilisation of a Tm–Ho:YAG laser for coherent lidar applications at 2.1 μm

We developed a low-noise, single-frequency Tm–Ho:YAG laser tunable in the wavelength interval between 2087 and 2099 nm. To suppress both amplitude and frequency fluctuations the laser has been stabilised by two different control loops. Intensity noise has been effectively reduced using a feedback loop acting on the pump diode current, based on a biquadratic bandpass filter, which provides up to 17 dB suppression at the relaxation oscillation peak. Absolute frequency stabilisation has been achieved by locking the oscillator to the P(12) absorption line of the HBr molecule at 2097.2 nm using the fringe side locking technique, obtaining a long-term frequency stability better than 32 kHz over an observation time of 60 min. This stabilised source is aimed to injection seeding of a coherent lidar system for high precision measurements of wind velocity.     

Do intradot electron-electron interactions induce dephasing?

We investigate the degree of coherence of electronic transport through a quantum dot (QD) in the presence of an intradot electron-electron interaction. By using an open multiterminal Aharonov-Bohm (AB) setup, we find that the intradot interaction does not induce any dephasing effect and the electron transport through the QD is fully coherent. We also observe that the asymmetric amplitude of the AB oscillation in the conductance through the two-terminal AB setup originates from the interplay between the confined structure and the electron-electron interaction. Thus, one cannot associate a dephasing process with this asymmetric amplitude, as has been done in previous studies.     

Dynamics of electron in a surface quantum well

This paper studies the quantum dynamics of electrons in a surface quantum well in the time domain with autocorrelation of wave packet. The evolution of the wave packet for different manifold eigenstates with finite and infinite lifetimes is investigated analytically. It is found that the quantum coherence and evolution of the surface electronic wave packet can be controlled by the laser central energy and electric field. The results show that the finite lifetime of excited states expedites the dephasing of the coherent electronic wave packet significantly. The correspondence between classical and quantum mechanics is shown explicitly in the system.     

High spectral purity and tunable operation of a continuous singly resonant optical parametric oscillator emitting in the red

Continuous-wave oscillation of a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator operating from 619 to 640 nm has been obtained. Parametric gain is created in a MgO-doped periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate crystal pumped at 532 nm. 100 mW of single-frequency red light have been generated. The signal frequency is tunable, and its frequency stabilization on an external reference has been achieved.     

A tunable terahertz-band oscillator based on a two-well nanostructure with a coherent electron subsystem

A theory of coherent resonance tunneling of electrons in a two-well nanostructure (TWNS) in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field is developed. The TWNS consists of two identical tunnel-coupled quantum wells to which a dc electric field is applied. Radiative transitions occur between two levels that arise due to the interwell interference and the dc electric field. The wavefunctions and polarization currents in the TWNS are found in the case of a strong electromagnetic field, and the oscillation power is determined as a function of the coherent pumping current and the parameters of the structure. It is shown that oscillations are possible in the relevant terahertz band, with fine frequency tuning by a dc field. It is found that the interference of electrons between quantum wells plays a crucial role. This interference significantly suppresses the effect of the electromagnetic field on the resonance tunneling and enhances the oscillation up to the highest possible level. It is proved that there exists an optimal regime of strong-field oscillations without inverse population and saturation, which are inherent in conventional lasers.
