Abstract The optimal design of double quantum well structures for generation of polarization-entangled photons in the mid-infrared range, based on the valence intersubband transitions spontaneous parametric downconversion, is considered. The efficiency and frequency selectivity of the process are also estimated.

Highly efficient vortex four-wave mixing in asymmetric semiconductor quantum wells

Jing Qiu, Zhiping Wang, Dong-Sheng Ding +2 more

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) is an important property of vortex light, which provides a valuable tool to manipulate the light-matter interaction in the study of classical and quantum optics. Here we propose a scheme to generate vortex light fields via four-wave mixing (FWM) in asymmetric semiconductor quantum wells. By tailoring the probe-field and control-field detunings, we can effectively manipulate the helical phase and intensity of the FWM field. Particularly, when probe field and control field have identical detuning, we find that both the absorption and phase twist of the generated FWM field are significantly suppressed. Consequently, the highly efficient vortex FWM is realized, where the maximum conversion efficiency reaches around 50%. Our study provides a tool to transfer vortex wavefronts from input to output fields in an efficient way, which may find potential applications in solid-state quantum optics and quantum information processing.
