Dynamic Model for Optical Bistability in Multiple Quantum-Well Structures

We formulate a set of dynamical equations, which govern the dynamical evolution of optically bistable systems based on Multiple Quantum Well Structures, in conditions of quasi-resonance with an excitonic line. The steady state diagrams indicate the possibility of bistability in this system.

Dynamical equations for excitonic nonlinearities in MQW structures

Gian Paolo Bava, Pierluigi Debernardi, Luigi A. Lugiato

A model is presented for the dynamical evolution of optical bistable devices based on Multiple Quantum Well structures, in which the electric field is near resonance with an excitonic line, and the parameters which appear in the equations are discussed. For room ternperature operation, examples of steady state response curves are presented. In conditions of adiabatic elimination of the exciton density and within the assumption of small carrier density, it is shown that the set of equations is equivalent to the well known model for optical bistability in two level systems.
