Highly efficient four-wave mixing via intersubband transitions in InGaAs/AlAs coupled double quantum well structures

چکیده
We perform a time-dependent analysis of continuous wave (cw) four-wave mixing (FWM) in InGaAs/AlAs coupled double quantum well (CDQW) structures via intersubband transitions. By using the coupled Schrödinger–Maxwell approach, we obtain the corresponding explicit analytical expressions for the input probe and FWM-generated signal fields. We calculated the dependencies of the efficiency of the FWM-generated fields on cw pump fields and the depths of penetration into the CDQW sample. Such a nonlinear optical process may be used to generate coherent short-wavelength radiation efficiently in the CDQW solid state system.

Near-infrared intersubband transitions in InGaAs–AlAs–InAlAs double quantum wells
Intersubband optical transitions at short wavelengths in strain-compensated In0.70Ga0.30As—AlAs double quantum wells are investigated by means of mid-infrared absorption. Trade-offs between achieving a high transition energy and a large oscillator strength of the two highest-energy intersubband transitions using our strain-compensation approach are analyzed as a function of the widths of the tw...
متن کاملDegenerate four waves mixing in multilayer nanoshell
We will present a detailed investigation of intersubband transitions process in core-multi shells quantum dots. The confined wave functions and eigenenergies of electrons in quantum dots have been calculated under the effective-mass approximation by solving a three-dimensional Schrodinger equation. Excellent dependence is found between size effects, time relaxation and degenerate four wave mixi...

متن کاملShort-wavelength intersubband absorption in strain compensated InGaAs/AlAs quantum well structures grown on InP
We have studied intersubband absorption in strain compensated InxGa12xAs/AlAs/InyAl12yAs multiple quantum wells and superlattices grown on InP. X-ray diffraction shows that the layers are pseudomorphically strained and exhibit slight compositional grading of the interfaces. Owing to the high AlAs barriers, the intersubband absorption can be tailored to wavelengths shorter than 2 mm. In some sam...
