双量子阱中的子带光吸收

由于微制造技术的不断发展,如液相外延(LPE),气相外延(VPE),金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)以及分子束外延技术(MBE)等先进的材料生长技术方法也日趋完善,从而使得各种低维半导体量子器件(如半导体、超晶格、量子阱、量子线和量子点等)制造日趋成熟。由于这些低维半导体量子器件具有很强的非线性光效应,而且随着材料、外形、尺寸等的不同,非线性光效应也有很大的差别,更由于其可能存在的广泛的应用前景,所以近年来,一直是人们研究的重点。近来,由于人们相信,利用GaAs／AlGaAs量子阱有可能制造出一些新型的光学仪器,如光开关、光限幅器、光调制器等,所以,对不同势形的GaAs／AlGaAs量子阱的非线性光学特性一直吸引着人们进行理论和实验的研究。而在最近几年,对双量子阱的研究也成为了人们的研究重点。通过密度矩阵和迭代的方法,得到双量子阱中的第一、第三阶子带光吸收表达式,我们将用一个典型的GaAs／AlGaAs双量子阱代入其中进行数值计算,并进行讨论。我们的计算结果显示,阱的光吸收峰不但与中间的势垒宽度有关,更与入射光强有关。

Studies on the Second-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Parabolic and Semi-parabolic Quantum Wells with Applied Electric Fields

Within the framework of compact density matrix approach and iterative procedure, a detailed procedure for the calculation of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) susceptibility tensor is given in the electric-field-biased parabolic and semi-parabolic quantum wells (QWs). The simple analytical formula for the SHG susceptibility in the systems is also deduced. Numerical results on typical AlGaAs/GaAs materials show that, for the same effective width, the SHG susceptibility in semi-parabolic QW is larger than that in parabolic QW due to the self-asymmetry of the semi-parabolic QW, and the applied electric field can make the SHG susceptibilities in both systems enhance remarkably. Moreover, the SHG susceptibility is also related to the parabolic confinement frequency and the relaxation rate of the systems.     

Linear and Nonlinear Intersubband Optical Absorptions and Refractive Index Changes in InGaN Strained Single Quantum Wells： Strong Built-in Electric Field Effects

Considering the strong built-in electric field （BEF） effects due to the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations, the intersubband optical absorptions and refractive index changes for an InxGa1-xN/AlyGa1-yN strained single quantum well are studied theoretically within the framework of the density matrix method and effective-mass approximation. The linear, third-order nonlinear and total absorption coefficients and refractive index changes are calculated as a function of the incident optical intensity and photon energy. Our results show that both the incident optical intensity and the strong BEF have great influence on the total absorptions and refractive index cllanges. The results are significant for designing some important photodetectors and the photonic crystal devices with adjustable photonic band structures.

Coherent Interband and Intersubband Dynamics in Terahertz-Driven GaAs Quantum Wells

We theoretically investigate the optical absorption spectra and charge density by subjecting a GaAs quantum well to both an intense terahertz (THz)-frequency driving field and an optical pulse within the theory of density matrix. In presence of a strong THz field, the optical transitions in quantum well subbands are altered by the THz field. The alteration has a direct impact on the optical absorption and the charge density. The excitonic peak splitting and THz optical sideband in the absorption spectra show up when changing the THz field intensity and/or frequency. The Autler-Towns splitting is a result from the THz nonlinear dynamics of confined excitons. On the other hand, the carrier charge density is created as wave packets formed by coherent superposition of several eigenstates. The charge density exhibitsquantum beats for short pulses and/or wider wells and is modulated by the THz field.

Intersubband absorption with difference-frequency generation in GaAs asymmetric quantum wells

An asymmetric quantum well(AQW) is designed to emit terahertz(THz) waves by using difference frequency generation(DFG) with the structure of GaAs/Al 0.2 Ga 0.8 As/Al 0.5 Ga 0.5 As.The characteristics of absorption coefficients are analysed under the parabolic and non-parabolic energy-band conditions in detail.We find that the absorption coefficients vary with the two pump optical intensities,and they reach the maxima when the pump wavelengths are given as λ p1 = 9.70 μm and λ p2 = 10.64 μm,respectively.Compared with non-parabolic conditions,the total absorption coefficient under parabolic conditions shows a blue shift,which is due to the increase in the energy difference between the ground and excited states.By adjusting the two pump optical intensities,the wave vector phase-matching condition inside the AQW is satisfied.
