Coherent control of intersubbband optical gain and phonon emission in semiconductor heterostructures

Xuedong Hu, Walter Poetz

We present results for two coherent control schemes in semiconductor heterostructures obtained within Boltzmann- Bloch equations. The latter are obtained from Dyson's equation within the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's function approach and allow a microscopic analysis of coherent control schemes in semiconductors. Here we focus on the coherent control of optical gain and longitudinal optical photon emission rates in intersubband transitions in a three-subband model of a biased asymmetric double well. We show that by coupling the two energetically close subbands with a coherent microwave field, we can induce coherence into the carriers in the double well, thus manipulating intersubband transitions. By adjusting the phase of the microwave field, we can achieve significant modification to the gain spectra for light pulses shorter than the period of the low frequency intersubband polarization. Similarly, LO- phonon induced intersubband transitions can be controlled due to quantum interference between electron-lattice and electron-light interactions.

Effects of Detuning on Control of Intersubband Quantum Well Transitions with Chirped Electromagnetic Pulses

Konstantinos Blekos, Constantinos Simserides, Andreas Terzis +6 more

We study the interaction of a chirped electromagnetic pulse with intersubband transitions of a double semiconductor quantum well. We specifically consider the interaction of the ground and first excited subbands with the electromagnetic field and use the nonlinear density matrix equations for the description of the system dynamics. These equations are solved numerically for various values of the electron sheet density for a realistic double GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well, and the efficiency of population transfer is discussed with emphasis given to the effects of the detuning of the central frequency of the electromagnetic field from resonance.
