Investigation of quadratic electro-optic effects and electro-absorption process in GaN/AlGaN spherical quantum dot

چکیده
Quadratic electro-optic effects (QEOEs) and electro-absorption (EA) process in a GaN/AlGaN spherical quantum dot are theoretically investigated. It is found that the magnitude and resonant position of third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility depend on the nanostructure size and aluminum mole fraction. With increase of the well width and barrier potential, quadratic electro-optic effect and electro-absorption process nonlinear susceptibilities are decreased and blueshifted. The results show that the DC Kerr effect in this case is much larger than that in the bulk case. Finally, it is observed that QEOEs and EA susceptibilities decrease and broaden with the decrease of relaxation time.

In this paper, we present calculations for different parameters of quantum dot infrared photodetectors. We considered a structure which includes quantum dots with large conduction-band-offset materials (GaN/AlGaN). Single band effective mass approximation has been applied in order to calculate the electronic structure. Throughout the modeling, we tried to consider the limiting factors which dec...
متن کاملElectro-optic and electro-absorption characterization of InAs quantum dot waveguides.
Optical properties of multilayer InAs quantum dot waveguides, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, have been studied under applied electric field. Fabry-Perot measurements at 1515 nm on InAs/GaAs quantum dot structures yield a significantly enhanced linear electro-optic efficiency compared to bulk GaAs. Electro-absorption measurements at 1300 nm showed increased absorption with applied field accomp...

The electro-optic properties of 1.3 mm self-assembled InAs=GaAs quantum dots grown by metal organic chemical vapour deposition are reported. The linear and quadratic electro-optic coefficients are 2.4 10 11 m=V and 3.2 10 18 m=V, respectively, which are significantly larger than those of GaAs bulk materials. Also, the linear electro-optic coefficient is almost comparable to that of lithium niob...
