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 expressions between the corresponding nonlinear optical properties with and without considering the excitonic effects. It is seen that these analytical expressions are related only to ratios of the effective masses of electron and hole. These explicit expressions indicate that the excitonic effects on the corresponding nonlinear optical properties become more important with increasing orders of the optical susceptibilities. In addition, we suggest a scaling rule for the nth-order susceptibility as gamma((n+1)/2). The effect of the confining potential frequency on the corresponding nonlinear optical properties is also studied. Our results show a remarkable dependence of nonlinear optical properties on both the excitonic effects and the confining potential frequency.

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...
Perturbation analysis of sheath evolution, with application to plasma source ion implantation
Bektursunova, RM; Demokan, O (IOP Publishing, 2001-02-07)
A perturbation model has been developed to describe the evolution of an expanding plasma sheath around a cathode after a high-voltage negative pulse is applied to the cathode, simulating the conditions in devices such as those used for plasma source ion implantation. The set of governing equations consists of two coupled collisionless fluid equations for ions, and Poisson's equation and Boltzmann's assumption for electrons. The time-dependent, self-consistent expressions for the potential, ion density and i...
ELECTRON POLARIZATION IN QUANTUM-WELLS WITH UNIFORM ELECTRIC-FIELD
ILAIWI, KF; Tomak, Mehmet (Wiley, 1991-08-01)
The polarization of a quantum electron confined in square, parabolic, and triangular quantum wells is calculated numerically. The aim of the present calculations is to compare the results for various geometries.
Nonlinear intersubband optical absorption of Si delta-doped GaAs under an electric field
Yildirim, Hasan; Tomak, Mehmet (Wiley, 2006-10-01)
We study the nonlinear intersubband optical absorption of a single Si delta-doped GaAs sheet placed in the middle of a GaAs quantum well and subjected to an electric field. The Schrodinger and Poisson equations are solved self-consistently for various electric field strengths. The self-consistent solutions provide us with the correct confining potential, the wave functions, the corresponding subband energies and the subband occupations. The nonlinear optical intersubband absorption spectra are discussed wit...
Radiative gas-dynamic model of a continuous optical discharge in a gravitational field: quasi-optical approximation
Rafatov, İsmail (IOP Publishing, 2009-08-07)
We consider a continuous optical discharge (COD) sustained by a vertically directed weakly focused CO(2) laser beam, in a gravitational field. We used a full two-dimensional radiative gas-dynamic numerical model for the COD, which uses realistic quasi optics and takes refraction of the laser radiation in the plasma properly into account in the description of the laser beam propagation. The model is applied to calculate the parameters of the COD in a converging CO(2) laser beam in free air atmosphere as a fu...
