Resonantly enhanced nonlinear optics in semiconductor quantum wells: An application to sensitive infrared detection Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A novel class of coherent nonlinear optical phenomena, involving induced transparency in semiconductor quantum wells, is considered in the context of a particular application to sensitive long-wavelength infrared detection. It is shown that the strongest decoherence mechanisms can be suppressed or mitigated, resulting in substantial enhancement of nonlinear optical effects in semiconductor quantum wells.
