Controllable amplification, absorption, and dispersion in double‐cascade‐type four‐level system of multiple quantum wells

Abstract

A double-cascade-type four-level system of semiconductor multiple quantum wells (MQWs) was constructed with biexcitons and excitons. The nonlinear optical properties for amplification, absorption, and dispersion of 2-weak fields in this scheme are investigated. It shows that the amplification, absorption, and dispersion responses of 2-weak fields can be achieved by appropriately adjusting the relative phase, the probe detuning, and the two control Rabi frequencies. The investigation is much more practical than its atomic counterpart because of its flexible design and the widely adjustable parameters. It may provide a new possibility in technological applications for the light amplifier and optical switch working on quantum coherence effects in MQW solid-state systems.

Dynamic analysis of optical soliton pair and four-wave mixing via Fano interference in multiple quantum wells

“…) of the generated FWM field at the exit z = L and E p (in) is the electric field E P (E p | 2 = 4ħ 2 |Ω p | 2 /|μ 01 | 2 ) of the probe field at the entrance z = 0 [31,[38][39][40][41][42]. According to (30) we can get that To investigate the effect of the Fano interference on the FWM, we plot in figure 6 versus drive field Ω d and decay rates of biexciton state r 3 at p = 0.5 with k 01 = k 02 = 1 × 10 19 m -1 s -1 , r 2 = 1 × 10 7 Hz, Ω c = 1 × 10 13 Hz ω s = 1.1ω p , z = 5 μm and Δ 1 = Δ 2 = Δ 3 = 0.…”
