Raman scattering,luminescence, and absorption edge under hydrostatic pressures of layered BiI3 and SbI3

Raman scattering from BiI₃ and SbI₃ crystals has been studied at hydrostatic pressures up to 2 GPa. The wavenumbers monotonically increased with pressure for all modes in BiI₃. Although both crystals belong to the same space group, the pressure coefficients of SbI₃ were significantly different from those of BiI₃. At pressure P₀ = 0.92 ± 0.01 GPa, the pressure coefficients of all modes changed. Above P₀, all modes in SbI₃ had positive pressure coefficients as they have in BiI₃. By comparing this unusual behavior of the Raman lines in SbI₃ around P₀ with the results in BiI₃ and comparing the two lattice structures, we suggest that the type of bonding of SbI₃ changes to become more ionic and hence more similar to the bonding of BiI₃. This change in structure is supported by changes in the bandwidth of the self‐trapped exciton (STE) luminescence and the slope of the absorption edge photon energy versus pressure.

Stimulated emission and multi-peaked absorption in a four level N-type atom

Absorption and refraction of the inner transition F₂\leftrightarrow F₃ of the closed four level N-type atom have been investigated under a weak field. The outer transitions F₁\leftrightarrow F₃ and F₂\leftrightarrow F₄ are resonantly interacted with drive field with frequency \omega_c and Rabi frequency \Omega_c, and saturation field with \Omega_s and \Omega_s, respectively. For the suitable Rabi frequencies \Omega_c and \Omega_s, we obtain the Mollow absorption spectrum of probe field. The reason is that the drive field excites the atom to the upper level F_c and simultaneously the saturation field takes the atom out of the lower level F₂, leading to the stimulated emission. Meanwhile, due to the dynamic energy splitting induced by the drive and saturation fields, the two- and four-peaked absorption spectra are observed. At the zero off-resonance detuning of probe field, we also find the transfer of dispersion from negative to positive with an increment of \Omega_s. Finally, the refractive index enhancement is predicted for a wide spectral region.

Influence of nonlinear absorption effects on optical bistability in semiconductor ring resonators

We present a theoretical investigation of optical bistability in a nonlinear semiconductor ring resonator, by taking into account the two-photon absorption and the free-carrier absorption. By solving the intensity equation within the ring resonator, a parametric formulation is obtained for describing the bistability relation between the input and the output intensities. Numerical results show that the nonlinear absorption effects can affect the critical points and domain of the optical bistability.     

Impurity optical absorption in parabolic quantum well

Optical absorption in GaAs parabolic quantum well in the presence of hydrogenic impurity is considered. The absorption coefficient associated with the transitions between the upper valence subband and donor ground state is calculated. The impurity ground state wave function and energy are obtained using the variational method. Dependence of the absorption spectra on impurity position in quantum well was investigated. It is shown, that along with quantum well width decrease the absorption threshold shifts to higher frequencies. Results obtained within frames of parabolic approximation are compared with results for rectangular infinite-barrier quantum well case. The acceptor state → conduction band transitions considered as well.     

Optical absorption in asymmetric double quantum wells driven by two intense terahertz fields

Optical absorption is investigated for asymmetric double quantum wells driven by a resonant terahertz field and a varied terahertz field both polarized along the growth direction. Rich nonlinear dynamics of the replica peak and the Autler-Townes splitting of various dressed states are systematically studied in undoped asymmetric double quantum wells by taking account of multiple factors, such as the frequency of the varied terahertz field and the strength of the resonant terahertz field. Each electron subband splits into two dressed states when the resonant terahertz field is applied in the absence of the varied terahertz field, the optical absorption spectrum shows the first order Autler-Townes splitting of the electron subbands. When a varied terahertz field is added into the resonant system, the replica peak and the second order Autler-Townes splitting of the dressed states near the band edge respectively emerge when the varied terahertz field is non-resonant and resonant with these dressed states. When the strength of the resonant terahertz field is increased, the first order Autler-Townes double peaks and the replica peak in the optical absorption spectrum shift with the shifts of the dressed states. The presented results have potential applications in electro-optical devices.

水溶性CdTe:Mn量子点的双光子吸收

采用激发波长800 nm、脉宽50 fs、重复频率1 kHz的Ti:sapphire放大飞秒激光器作为激发光源,利用开孔Z扫描技术研究了不同粒径的CdTe:Mn量子点的非线性吸收性质。理论计算结果表明,同一生长时间CdTe:Mn量子点的双光子吸收系数是CdTe量子点的1.1倍,其双光子吸收系数随量子点尺寸的减小而增大,这是由于CdTe:Mn量子点非线性吸收属于反饱和吸收,掺杂了Mn元素,减小了表面缺陷浓度,表明掺杂量子点具有很好的双光子吸收现象。

微穿孔板吸声结构是由微穿孔板与板后空腔组成的共振吸声结构,被认为是继多孔吸声材料之后发展起来的最有吸引力的吸声结构,其吸声特性与结构参数孔径d、板厚t、孔距b及空腔深度D有关,如何按需设计一个有效的微穿孔板吸声结构已成为目前研究的热点。本文从微穿孔板吸声结构和吸声特性混合设计的角度出发,使用面向对象的编程语言C++开发了微穿孔板吸声结构设计平台。与以往设计方法不同,本文开发的软件平台综合考虑了结构参数和吸声特性参数两方面的限制,根据实际应用要求平衡微穿孔板吸声结构的最大吸声系数与吸声带宽之间的制约关系,并以饱满的吸声曲线为目标,提供满足混合设计要求的优化结构参数。
