Abstract
The optical second-harmonic generation in quantum wells of biased electric-field is studied.The analytic expression of second-harmonic generation coefficient of this system is derived by means of density matrix approach and the iterative method.The numerical results are presented for a typical GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells of biased electric-field.The results show that the second-harmonic generation coefficient in this system is over 10 times larger than that in bulk GaAs material and it will change with the change taking place in electric field F.
