Abstract
Abstract In this letter, we investigated the behaviors of the absorptive–dispersive properties of weak probe light in a four-level InGaN/GaN quantum dot nanostructure. In order to achieve the wave functions and their corresponding energy levels of the mentioned quantum dot nanostructure, Schrödinger and Poisson equations must be solved self consistently for carriers (here electrons) in quantum dots. The enhanced refractive index with amplification can be obtained via adjusting the corresponding controllable parameters such as intensity, detuning and relative phase of the applied fields. Our proposed scheme provides a realistic model for controlling the index of refraction in a quantum dot nanostructure.
