Low dimensional semiconductor structures such as quantum wells, wires and dots demonstrate interesting nonlinear optical properties. The low dimensionality modulates the electronic structure leading to distinct nonlinear optical properties as compared to their bulk counterparts. In this review, we concentrate more on quantum wells and dots althoughwealso consider someworks on quantum wires. The nonlinear optical parameters such as the second and the third order susceptibilities are specifically discussed.

Nonlinear optical properties of a Woods-Saxon quantum dot under an electric field AYTEKİN, ÖZLEM; Turgut, Sadi; Unal, V. Ustoglu; Aksahin, E.; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) A theoretical study of the effect of the confining potential on the nonlinear optical properties of two dimensional quantum dots is performed. A three-parameter Woods-Saxon potential is used within the density matrix formalism. The control of confinement by three parameters and an applied electric field gives one quite an advantage in studying their effects on the nonlinear properties. The coefficients investigated include the optical rectification, second and third-harmonic generation and the change in the...
Nonlinear optical properties of a Poschl-Teller quantum well under electric and magnetic fields AYTEKİN, ÖZLEM; Turgut, Sadi; Tomak, Mehmet (2012-04-01) The nonlinear optical properties of a Poschl-Teller Quantum well (PTQW) under electric and magnetic fields are studied. The salient feature of this potential is its flexibility. It can be made asymmetrical by a proper choice of its two parameters. Optical rectification, second and third-harmonic generation susceptibilities are calculated using the density matrix formalism. We study the effects of quantum confinement, electric and magnetic fields on all of these optical coefficients.
Excitonic effects on the nonlinear optical properties of small quantum dots KARABULUT, İBRAHİM; Safak, H.; Tomak, Mehmet (IOP Publishing, 2008-08-07) The excitonic effects on the nonlinear optical properties of small quantum dots with a semiparabolic confining potential are studied under the density matrix formalism. First, within the framework of the strong confinement approximation, we present the excitonic states and then calculate the excitonic effects on the nonlinear optical properties, such as second harmonic generation, third harmonic generation, nonlinear absorption coefficient and refractive index changes. We find the explicit analytical expres...
Exciton related nonlinear optical properties of a spherical quantum dot Aksahin, E.; Unal, V. Ustoglu; Tomak, Mehmet (2015-11-01) The nonlinear optical properties of an exciton in a spherical quantum dot (QD) is studied analytically. The nonlinear optical coefficients are calculated within the density matrix formalism. The electronic problem is solved within the effective mass approximation. The contributions from the competing effects of the confinement, the Coulomb interaction, and the applied electric field are calculated and compared with each other. We have made no assumptions about the strength of the confinement. We concentrate...
Numerical Modeling of Electromagnetic Scattering from Periodic Structures by Transformation Electromagnetics ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2016-09-22) The transformation electromagnetics is applied to the modeling of electromagnetic scattering from periodic structures in conjunction with the finite element method with periodic boundary conditions. In a unit cell of periodic structure, a uniform mesh is used over a flat surface and the arbitrary periodic surface is modeled by a coordinate transformation. The major advantage of this approach is that arbitrary geometries can be handled by using a single and simple mesh. Therefore, repeated computations (such...
