A Quasi-Symmetric Coupled Quantum Well and Its Electric-Optical Properties

We propose a novel coupled quantum well structure, i.e. a quasi-symmetric coupled quantum well (QSCQW). Based on the demands of optical switching devices for quantum well materials, the QSCQW configuration is further optimized. Consequently, in the case of low applied electric field 25kV/cm and low absorption loss 100cm^-1, a large field-induced refractive index change (for TE mode, n = 0.0106; for TM mode, n = 0.0115) is obtained in the QSCQW structure at the operation wavelength 1550hm. The value is in one or two order of magnitude larger than that in a rectangular quantum well and about 50% larger than that of five-step asymmetric coupled quantum well structure under the same working conditions. The refractive index change obtained with the optimized QSCQW under so low absorption loss and applied electric field is very attractive for semiconductor optical switching devices. This manifests that the QSCQW structure has a great potential for applications in ultra-fast and low-voltage optical switches and in travelling wave modulators.

Resonantly Enhanced Continuous-Wave Four-Wave Mixing in a Five-Level Cold Atomic Medium

Using Schroedinger-Maxwell formalism, we propose and analyse a cw four-wave mixing (FWM) scheme for the generation of coherent light in a five-level double-∧ atomic system based on electromagnetically induced transparency. We derive the corresponding explicit analytical expressions for the generated FWM field. The influence of hyperfine sublevel on the amplitude of the generated FWM field is predicted in detail. We also give a brief discussion on the experimental realization of the proposed scheme.     

Analysis of S-SEED''s characteristics in optical switch

This article introduces the basic structure of a symmetric self-electrooptic effect device （S-SEED）, and applies the Kirchoff＇ s current law and a purely equivalent capacitive model, to analyze S-SEED＇s switch characteristics. Linear approximation and N-segment approximation are utilized to obtain S-SEED＇s voltage-time （V-T） and characteristics. Theoretical analysis is verified by simulations, and the results demonstrate that the precision of S-SEED＇s switch time can satisfy the requirement in applications with linear approximation. Moreover, the simulations compare S-SEED＇s switch characteristics with different input powers and input contrast ratios, which reveal that increasing input contrast ratio is an effective way to improve S-SEED＇s switch characteristics.
