Abstract An approach for solving the excitonic absorption in a semiconductor quantum well driven by an intense terahertz field is presented. The formalism relies on the stationary single-photon Schrödinger equation in the full quantum mechanical framework. The optical absorption dynamics in both weak and strong couplings are discussed and compared. The excitonic absorption spectra show the Autler-Townes doublets for the resonance terahertz field, a replica peak for the non-resonance terahertz field, and the electromagnetically induced transparency phenomenon for modulating the decay rate of the second electron state in the weak coupling. In particular, the electromagnetically induced transparency phenomenon window range is discussed. In the strong coupling region,the multi-order energy level resonance splitting due to the strong optical field is found. There are three (non-resonance terahertz field) or four (resonance terahertz field) peaks in the optical absorption spectra. This work provides a simple and convenient approach to deal with the optical absorption in the exciton system.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
