研究目的
Investigating the effect of quintic nonlinearity on self-phase modulation and modulation instability in multiple coupled quantum wells under electromagnetically induced transparency.
研究成果
The study identifies large Kerr and quintic nonlinearities in asymmetric double quantum wells under electromagnetically induced transparency, controllable by the Rabi frequency and detuning of controlling fields. Self-phase modulation experienced by a propagating probe pulse is suppressed by quintic nonlinearity. A continuous wave or quasi-continuous probe beam undergoes modulation instability due to large nonlinearities, with growth and bandwidth controllable by external parameters. Both fourth-order dispersion and quintic nonlinearity reduce instability growth and bandwidth.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and does not involve experimental validation. The analysis is limited to the specific configuration of multiple asymmetric double quantum wells under electromagnetically induced transparency. The influence of higher-order nonlinearities beyond quintic is considered insignificant and not included in the analysis.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves theoretical modeling and numerical simulation of the propagation dynamics of an optical probe field in multiple quantum well systems under electromagnetically induced transparency. The theoretical model includes the derivation of expressions for linear and nonlinear susceptibilities and the formulation of a modified nonlinear Schr?dinger equation to describe the probe field's evolution.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study considers 200 periods of double quantum wells, each consisting of a wide well and a narrow well, made of GaAs material with specific thicknesses and electron density.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study is theoretical and does not involve physical experiments, hence no specific equipment or materials are listed.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The workflow involves deriving the dynamical equation of the propagating probe, examining properties of linear, Kerr, and quintic nonlinearities, and investigating self-phase modulation and modulation instability phenomena.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis involves numerical simulation to investigate self-phase modulation and modulation instability, including the examination of instability growth rates and bandwidths of unstable frequencies.
