Analysis of reduced interband absorption mechanisms in semiconductor quantum wells

D.S. Lee, Kevin J. Malloy

Mechanisms for reduced interband absorption using intersubband coherence or intersubband coupling in semiconductor quantum wells are analyzed by exactly solving the density matrix equation. By placing some mild limitations on the diagonal density matrix elements, general analytic solutions are obtained without weak-field restrictions. Our solutions demonstrate reduced absorption, various nonlinear processes, and coupling-field-modulation of interband transitions. Our results agree well with previous results for three-level atomic systems, give insights into nonlinear mechanisms, and point out the importance of nonperturbative approaches to this class of problems.>

FIELD-INDUCED QUANTUM INTERFERENCE IN SEMICONDUCTOR QUANTUM WELLS FOR LASING WITHOUT POPULATION INVERSION AND ELECTROMAGNETICALLY INDUCED TRANSPARENCY

Y. ZHAO, Danhong Huang, C. WU

This paper presents the current results of field-induced quantum interference in semiconductor quantum wells. Three-level systems with two conduction subbands in single and double quantum wells coupled by a resonant field are studied. We investigate effects of the Coulomb and field-induced electronic renormalizations of the energy subbands and steady eigenstates of electrons. The random-phase and ladder approximations have been used to calculate the linear interband and intersubband optical absorptions and refractive indices. The effect of collective dipole moment on the nonlinear susceptibility has been incorporated into the study by using a local-field approach. Lasing without population inversion, electromagnetically induced transparency, and enhanced nonlinearity with reduced absorption inside the intersubband-coupled single quantum well and dc-field coupled double quantum wells are found.

Self-induced transmission on intersubband resonance in multiple quantum wells

Cui Ni, Yueping Niu, Hui Sun +1 more

We investigate the nonlinear propagation of ultrashort pulses on resonant intersubband transitions in multiple semiconductor quantum wells. It is shown that the nonlinearity rooted from electron-electron interactions destroys the condition giving rise to self-induced transparency. However, by adjusting the area of input pulse, we find the signatures of self-induced transmission due to a full Rabi flopping of the electron density, and this phenomenon can be approximately interpreted by the traditional standard area theorem via defining the effective area of input pulse.
