Özet

The paper theoretically explores the variations in nonlinear optical rectification (NOR), second (SHG), and third harmonic generation (THG) coefficients of an n-type quadruple δ-doped GaAs quantum well in the presence of electric, magnetic, and THz laser fields. The energies of subbands and associated wave functions are derived through the solution of the Schrödinger equation, utilizing effective mass and parabolic band approximations. The findings indicate that the applied external electric and magnetic fields significantly influence both the magnitudes and the positions of the peaks in NOR, SHG, and THG concerning the incident photon energies. In addition to the influences of electric and magnetic fields, subjecting the system to an intense laser field results in noticeable changes in the THG, SHG, and NOR coefficients. These numerical findings regarding the optical properties of quadruple δ-doped quantum wells in the presence of external fields could offer valuable guidance for experimental studies.
