Kx. Guo et Sw. Gu, NONLINEAR-OPTICAL RECTIFICATION IN THE ELECTRIC-FIELD-BIASED PARABOLIC QUANTUM-WELL WIRES, Solid state communications, 87(8), 1993, pp. 741-744
Nonlinear optical rectification in the electric-field-biased parabolic
quantum well wires to resonant intersubband transitions are analyzed
using a compact density-matrix approach The large nonlinear optical re
ctification obtained in such structure are mainly due to the possibili
ty of tuning independently the confinement frequency omega0, the appli
ed electric field F and the angle theta.
