GIANT THIRD-ORDER KERR NONLINEARITIES AND SLOW OPTICAL SOLITONS IN DOUBLE QUANTUM-WELL

Xun Xiao

We show the formation of slow optical solitons in the asymmetric coupled double quantum wells (CQW) via a two-photon Raman resonance. With the consideration of real parameters in AlGaAs -based CQW, we indicate the possibility to have cancelation of the linear absorption, giant Kerr nonlinearities, and slow group velocity propagation of the weak probe pulse at the same one-photon detuning frequency around several THz .

Giant Kerr Nonlinearity, Controlled Entangled Photons and Polarization Phase Gates in Coupled Quantum-Well Structures

Chengjie Zhu, Guoxiang Huang

We study linear and nonlinear propagations of probe and signal pulses in a multiple quantum-well structure with a four-level, double Λ-type configuration. We show that slow, mutually matched group velocities and giant Kerr nonlinearity of the probe and the signal pulses may be achieved with nearly vanishing optical absorption. Based on these properties we demonstrate that two-qubit quantum polarization phase gates can be constructed and highly entangled photon pairs may be produced. In addition, we show that coupled slow-light soliton pairs with very low generation power can be realized in the system.
