Abstract
Theoretical predictions of impurity bound polaron effects on the second har monic generation due to a resonant intersubband transition in rectangular q uantum well wires are presented. The asymmetry of the quantum well wires du e to the impurity accounts for the nonvanishing of the second-order suscept ibilities. The formula for the second harmonic generation along the quantum well wire is derived by the density matrix method. The numerical results a re presented for a typical GaAs quantum well wire surrounded by Ga1-xAlxAs. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
