Abstract

Abstract The effects of external magnetic field, hydrostatic pressure, temperature and radius of the quantum dots (QDs) on refractive index changes (RICs) of tuned QDs are studied in detail theoretically. In the framework of effective mass approximation, energy levels and wave functions are derived. Simultaneously, the nonlinear RICs are obtained by compact-density-matrix approach and iterative method. Then, the numerical simulations show that under various constraint factors, the resonant peak position of RICs moves to high energy or low energy, that is, blue shift or red shift, and the peak value of RICs will also alter with the change of parameters.

The effect of temperature, hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field on the nonlinear optical properties of AlGaAs/GaAs semi-parabolic quantum well

Jin-Feng You, Qiang Zhao, Zhihai Zhang +3 more

In this paper, we explore the optical properties of AlGaAs/GaAs semi-parabolic quantum well (QW) under different temperature, hydrostatic pressure and applied magnetic field. We calculate the nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and the refractive index changes (RICs) with the compact density-matrix approach and iterative method. Then, within the framework of the effective mass and parabolic-band approximations, the energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions for semi-parabolic QW have been obtained by the finite difference method. The theoretical findings show that (1) the energy spectrum depends strongly on temperature, hydrostatic pressure and applied magnetic field; (2) the linear and third-order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and the RICs are quite sensitive to temperature, hydrostatic pressure and applied magnetic field. Our study provides a theoretical basis for the fabrication of QW structure.

Effects of the Magnetic Field on the Linear and Nonlinear Optical Absorption Coefficients and the Refractive Index Changes in a Spherical Quantum Dot

Muharrem Kırak, Sait Yılmaz, Mustafa Gençaslan

The linear and third-order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients (ACs) and the refractive index change (RIC) for a spherical quantum dot, having a hydrogenic impurity under an applied magnetic field have been theoretically studied. In numerical calculations, a variational scheme is adopted within effective mass approximation to determine the energy eigenvalues for the impurtiy. The variations of impurity binding energy with the dot radius, the linear and nonlinear ACs and RIC with the photon energy are investigated and effect of homogeneous magnetic field strength is discussed on these optical properties. It has been found that the binding energy, ACs and RIC are sensitively dependent on the magnetic field strength. Moreover, the calculated results also indicate that the absorption peak energies move to higher energies with increasing magnetic field.

The Combined Influence of Hydrostatic Pressure and Temperature on Nonlinear Optical Properties of GaAs/Ga0.7Al0.3As Morse Quantum Well in the Presence of an Applied Magnetic Field

Zhihai Zhang, Jianhui Yuan, Kangxian Guo

Studies aimed at understanding the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of GaAs/Ga0.7Al0.3As morse quantum well (QW) have focused on the intersubband optical absorption coefficients (OACs) and refractive index changes (RICs). These studies have taken two complimentary approaches: (1) The compact-density-matrix approach and iterative method have been used to obtain the expressions of OACs and RICs in morse QW. (2) Finite difference techniques have been used to obtain energy eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenfunctions of GaAs/Ga0.7Al0.3As morse QW under an applied magnetic field, hydrostatic pressure, and temperature. Our results show that the hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field have a significant influence on the position and the magnitude of the resonant peaks of the nonlinear OACs and RICs. Simultaneously, a saturation case is observed on the total absorption spectrum, which is modulated by the hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field. Physical reasons have been analyzed in depth.

Effects of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on the nonlinear optical properties of GaAs/GaAlAs zigzag quantum well

Ahmet Türker Tüzemen, Hassen Dakhlaoui, Fatih Ungan

We have examined theoretically how the temperature and the hydrostatic pressure affect the total optical absorption coefficients, the total refractive index changes, and the second harmonic generation coefficients for GaAs/GaAlAs zigzag quantum well structure. The diagonalisation method and the effective mass approximation have been used to obtain the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation and energy levels, respectively. The analytical expressions of the optical properties were obtained by using the compact density matrix and iterative methods. When the temperature (hydrostatic pressure) is increased, the resonant peaks’ positions of the total optical absorption coefficients and the relative refractive index changes are shifted to higher energies/blueshift (lower energies/red-shift) with amplitude increment (decrement). Additionally, the resonant peak position of the second harmonic generation coefficient shifts to higher energies/blueshift (lower energies) and also decrease (increase) in magnitude with increasing temperature (hydrostatic pressure).

Linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes with the screened cosine Kratzer potential

Yawen Cai, Xuechao Li, Xiaolong Yan +2 more

Abstract This study explores how hydrostatic pressure, temperature, incident light intensity, and structural parameters modulate optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes in GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As spherical quantum dots under the screened cosine Kratzer potential. We use the Nikiforov-Uvarov method to solve the Schrödinger equation to determine the relevant wave functions and energy levels. And using iterative method and density matrix theory, we derived analytical expressions for the optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes. The results of the numerical analyses demonstrate that both the structural parameters of the quantum dots and the external environmental factors significantly influence the optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes, with varying degrees of impact. It is particularly noteworthy that these factors are extremely important for modulating the peak amplitude and resonance peak position of the optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes, providing important theoretical basis for us to deeply understand and modulate the nonlinear optical properties of quantum dots.

Refractive index changes in n-type delta-doped GaAs under hydrostatic pressure

Outmane Oubram, Isaac Rodríguez-Vargas, J.C. Martı́nez-Orozco

"The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the refractive index changes (RIC) is studied in ± -doped quantum well (DDQW) in GaAs. Based on the effective mass approximation we implement an algebraic formalism to calculate the electronic structure and RIC. Our results obtained with this model show that the position and the magnitude of the linear, nonlinear and total RIC are sensitive to hydrostatic pressure and bidimensional density. The incident optical intensity has a great effect on these optical quantities."
