Simultaneous effects of an on-center hydrogenic impurity and band edge non-parabolicity on intersubband optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes of a typical GaAs/Al x Ga 1 x As spherical quantum dot are theoretically investigated,using the Luttinger-Kohn effective mass equation.So,electronic structure and optical properties of the system are studied by means of the matrix diagonalization technique and compact density matrix approach,respectively.Finally,effects of an impurity,band edge non-parabolicity,incident light intensity and the dot size on the linear,the third-order nonlinear and the total optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes are investigated.Our results indicate that,the magnitudes of these optical quantities increase and their peaks shift to higher energies as the influences of the impurity and the band edge non-parabolicity are considered.Moreover,incident light intensity and the dot size have considerable effects on the optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes. |
