Optical Second Harmonic Generation in GaAs/Ga1−xAlxAs Quantum Dots with Screened Kratzer Potential
Abstract
Herein, the second harmonic generation (SHG) associated with intersubband transitions in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is studied theoretically, with emphasis on the effects of the screened Kratzer (SK) potential parameters and regulating factors, such as temperature and the depth of potential. The Nikiforov–Uvarov Functional Analysis (NUFA) method is applied for solving the radial Schrödinger equation. Then, the formulae for the SHG coefficient are derived using the compact-density-matrix method. The results display that the SK potential parameters and the regulating factors play a key role in both the peak and position changes of the SHG in semiconductor QDs system.
