Photon Drag in Quantum Wells Embedded in a Planar Microcavity

“…Also external applied electric [8] and magnetic field [9] dependences of the linear optical response have been studied. Investigations of the second harmonic generation from a vertical cavity [10,11] and bistability [12,13] in a microcavity have been carried out. For a detailed review the reader is referred to [14].…”

The optical intersubband absorption bandgap in quantum wells embedded in an asymmetric microcavity

“…Due to the unique opportunity offered by the quantum-well microcavity structure, the optical properties of such a structure have attracted much attention for both fundamental physics and applications reasons [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In such a structure, the electrons and field are both confined in one direction by the quantum wells and the cavity, respectively.…”

“…To date, most of the theoretical and experimental results have been concentrated on interband transitions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Also, investigations of the non-linear response arising from interband transitions-secondharmonic generation and bistability-have been carried out [8][9][10]. For a detailed review, the reader is referred to reference [11].…”

Optical intersubband absorption of coupled double quantum wells embedded in an asymmetric Fabry-Perot microcavity subjected to an electric field

“…Recently the optical properties of quantum-well structures embedded in a microcavity have attracted a lot of interest for both fundamental physics and application reasons [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], since in such a structure the electrons and field are both confined in one direction, by the quantum well and the cavity, respectively. This thus allows us to carry out a study of the light-matter interaction in such a manner that by detuning the coupling between the quantum wells and the modes of the optical field supported by the microcavity, one can effectively control the light-quantum-well interaction [1,2].…”

“…Different theoretical approaches have been used to study the quantum-well microcavity systems [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Also, investigations of the secondharmonic generation from a vertical cavity [9,10] and bistability [11] in a microcavity have been carried out. For a detailed review, the reader is referred to reference [12].…”
