Steady-state analysis of three-photon absorption spectra via density-matrix method in a three-coupled-quantum-well nanostructure

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/5/054205

Abstract We numerically simulate three-photon absorption spectra in a three-coupled-quantum-well nanostructure interacting with a pump field, a coherent coupling field, and a probe field. We find that the three-photon absorption spectra can be dramatically influenced due to the intensities of the coupling field and pump field changing under the three-photon resonance condition. The effect of the frequency detuning of the pump field on the three-photon absorption spectra is also discussed. The study in our case is much more practical than the study in the case of its atomic counterpart in the sense of flexible design and the wide adjustable parameters. Thus it may open up some new possibilities for technological applications in optoelectronics and solid-state quantum information science.
