Linear and Nonlinear Optical Absorptions in a ZnS/CdSe Quantum Dot Quantum Well

In the effective mass approximation, we calculate the energy and wave function of a core-shell quantum dot. The linear and the third-order nonlinear optical absorptions in the core-shell quantum dot are investigated theoretically. The analytical expressions of the linear and the nonlinear optical absorption coefficients are obtained by using the compact density-matrix formalism and the iterative proceduce. The numerical calculations are presented for a ZnS/CdSe core-shell quantum dot. The results show that the factors of the incident optical intensity I, the relaxation timeτand the quantum dot size of the system have a great influence on the optical absorption. The total optical absorption coefficients enhanced are obvious with the relaxation time increasing. Moreover, the line width will broaden as the relaxation time decreases. This peak will significantly enhance with the incident optical intensity increasing, which directly affects the total optical absorption coefficients. The optical absorption saturation will occur when the incident optical intensity is I=1. 0×1010 W/m2. When the optical intensity exceeds this value (I=1. 5×1010 W/m2), the total absorption peak can be split up into two peaks.
