Abstract: | In the present theoretical study, the linear and third-order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients have been calculated
in GaAs/Ga1−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. |
