Abstract
Increasing absorption bistability is studied under realistic conditions wit h a many-body approach for nonlinear optical absorption in semiconductor qu antum wells, combining Coulomb and band structure engineering effects. The theory predicts carrier induced all-optical increasing absorption bistabili ty for low temperatures. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved .
