The Nonlinear Optical Rectification Coefficient in a MSQD: Effects of External Perturbation and the Kratzer Confinement Potential
摘要
In this chapter, we explore the influence of structural parameters (inner dot radius and barrier width), hydrostatic pressure, and temperature on the nonlinear optical rectification (NOR) in \(GaAs/GaAlAs\) multilayer spherical quantum dots (MSQDs). We also examine the NOR and second-harmonic generation (SHG) coefficients in \(GaAs/AlGaAs\) spherical MLQDs under Kratzer potential confinement. Using the effective mass approximation and the finite element method, we calculate the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of various quantum states. The results indicate a strong dependence of the OR resonance peak on geometry and external perturbations. Additionally, conduction band non-parabolicity and polaronic mass significantly impact the NOR. The potential depth ( \(N\) ) and minimum point ( \(R_{0}\) ) also critically influence optical responses, leading to blue or red shifts in NOR peaks. Notably, the \(2s{-}2p\) transition exhibits distinct photon-energy behavior. These findings offer insights for advancing theoretical and experimental research in nanostructure-based nonlinear optics.
