Linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients in inverse parabolic quantum wells under static external electric field

In the present theoretical study, the linear and third-order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients have been calculated in GaAs/Ga_1−x Al _x As inverse parabolic quantum wells (single and double) subjected to an external electric field. Our calculations are based on the potential morphing method in the effective mass approximation. The systematic theoretical investigation contains results with all possible combinations of the involved parameters, as quantum well width, quantum barrier width, Al concentration at each well center and magnitude of the external electric field. Our results indicate that in most cases investigated, the increase of the electric field blue-shifts the peak positions of the total absorption coefficient. In all cases studied it became apparent that the incident optical intensity considerably affects the total absorption coefficient.     

Improvement in intersubband optical absorption and the effects of device parameter variations in quantum wells with an applied electric field

The intersubband optical absorption in symmetric and asymmetric, single and coupled, double GaAs/ Ga_{1 − x}Al_xAs quantum wells is calculated. The results have been obtained in the presence of a uniform electric field as a function of the potential symmetry, size of the quantum well, and coupling parameter of the wells. In coupled double quantum wells we obtain a large Stark effect that can be used to fabricate tuneable photodetectors. We show that the effect of an applied electric field on the intersubband optical absorption is similar to changes in the dimensions of the structure. This behaviour in the intersubband optical absorption for different wells and barrier geometries can be used to study these systems in regions of interest, without the need for the growth of many different samples.     

Laser effects on the donor states in V-shaped and inverse V-shaped quantum wells

Laser effects on the electronic states in GaAs/ Ga_1−xAl_xAs V-shaped and inverse V-shaped quantum wells under a static electric field are studied using the transfer matrix method. The dependence of the donor binding energy on the laser field strength and the density of states associated with the impurity is also calculated. It is demonstrated that in inverse V-shaped quantum wells under electric fields, with an asymmetric distribution of the electron density, the position of the binding energy maximum versus the impurity location in the structure can be adjusted by the intensity of the laser field. This effect could be used to tune the electronic levels in quantum wells operating under electric and laser fields without modifying the physical size of the structures.     

Intense laser field effect on impurity states in a semiconductor quantum well: transition from the single to double quantum well potential

In this work are studied the intense laser effects on the impurity states in GaAs-Ga_{1− x} Al _x As quantum wells under applied electric and magnetic fields. The electric field is taken oriented along the growth direction of the quantum well whereas the magnetic field is considered to be in-plane. The calculations are made within the effective mass and parabolic band approximations. The intense laser effects have been included through the Floquet method by modifying the confinement potential associated to the heterostructure. The results are presented for several configurations of the dimensions of the quantum well, the position of the impurity atom, the applied electric and magnetic fields, and the incident intense laser radiation. The results suggest that for fixed geometry setups in the system, the binding energy is a decreasing function of the electric field intensity while a dual monotonic behavior is detected when it varies with the magnitude of an applied magnetic field, according to the intensity of the laser field radiation.     

Nonlinear optical absorption and optical rectification in near-surface double quantum wells: combined effects of electric, magnetic fields and hydrostatic pressure

The theoretical study of the combined effects of electric and magnetic fields and hydrostatic pressure on the nonlinear optical absorption and rectification is presented for electrons confined within an asymmetrical GaAs?Ga_1-x Alx As double quantum well. The effective mass, parabolic band, and envelope function approaches are used as tools for the investigation. The electric field is taken to be oriented along the growth direction of the heterostructure and the magnetic field is applied parallel to the interfaces of the quantum wells. The pressure-induced mixing between the two lowest conduction bands is considered both in the low and high pressure regimes. According to the results obtained it can be concluded that the nonlinear optical absorption and rectification coefficients depend in a non-trivial way on some internal and external parameters such as the size of the quantum wells, the direction of applied electric field, the magnitude of hydrostatic pressure, the stoichiometry of the wells and barriers, and the intensity of the applied magnetic field.     

Effect of electric field and central-cell corrections on the spectrum of shallow donors in parabolic quantum wells

The effects of the electric field and of the central-corrections on the binding energies of shallow donors in a Ga As/Ga_1−x Al _x As parabolic quantum well are studied. The effectivemass approximation within a variational scheme is adopted, and central-cell corrections are calculated by using a model potential with an adjustable parameter. For great values of the parabolic parameter, relatively large corrections are obtained for the shallow donors studied.     

Effect of conduction band parabolicity on the spectrum and binding energy of a hydrogenic impurity in GaAs spherical quantum dots

The energy levels and binding energies of a hydrogenic impurity in GaAs spherical quantum dots with radius R are calculated by the finite difference method. The system is assumed to have an infinite confining potential well with radius R, which can be viewed as a hard wall boundary condition. The parabolicity of the conduction band profile for GaAs material can be viewed as a parabolic potential well. The energy levels and binding energies are depended dramatically on the radius of the quantum dot and the parabolic potential well. The results show that parabolic potential can remarkably alter the energy level ordering and binding energy level ordering of hydrogenic impurity states for the quantum dot with a smaller radius R.     

Linear and nonlinear optical properties in a semiconductor quantum well under intense laser radiation: Effects of applied electromagnetic fields

In this work we are studying the intense laser effects on the electron-related linear and nonlinear optical properties in GaAs–Ga_1?xAl_xAs quantum wells under applied electric and magnetic fields. The calculated quantities include linear optical absorption coefficient and relative change of the refractive index, as well as their corresponding third-order nonlinear corrections. The nonlinear optical rectification and the second and third harmonic generation coefficients are also reported. The DC applied electric field is oriented along the hererostructure growth direction whereas the magnetic field is taken in-plane. The calculations make use of the density matrix formalism to express the different orders of the dielectric susceptibility. Additionally, the model includes the effective mass and parabolic band approximations. The intense laser effects upon the system enter through the Floquet method that modifies the confinement potential associated to the heterostructure. The results correspond to several configurations of the dimensions of the quantum well, the applied electric and magnetic fields, and the incident intense laser radiation. They suggest that the nonlinear optical absorption and optical rectification are nonmonotone functions of the dimensions of the heterostructure and of the external perturbations considered in this work.     

Donor impurity states in coupled quantum well wires under hydrostatic pressure and applied electric field

In this work we study the binding energy of the ground state for a hydrogenic donor impurity in laterally coupled GaAs/Ga_1−xAl_xAs quantum well wires, considering the simultaneous effects of hydrostatic pressure and applied electric field. We have used a variational method and the effective mass and parabolic band approximations. The low dimensional structure consists of two quantum well wires with rectangular transverse section coupled by a central Ga_1−xAl_xAs barrier. Our results are reported for several sizes of the structure and we have taken into account variations of the impurity position along the growth direction of the heterostructure.
