Optical Rectification in Electric-field Biased Hyperbolic Quantum Wells

The optical rectification coefficient in electric-field biased hyperbolic quantum wells was studied. The analytic expression of optical rectification coefficient of this system is derived by means of density matrix approach and the iterative method. Finally, the numerical results were presented for a typical GaAs electric-field biased hyperbolic quantum wells. The results show that the optical rectification coefficient in this system is larger than that in bulk GaAs material and it will change with the change of the parameter a of the quantum well and the applied electric field F.
