In this work, we investigate the intrinsic optical absorption coefficients (OACs) and refractive-index changes (RICs) in Ruddlesden‒Popper hybrid-organic perovskites (RP‒HOP) quantum wells (QWs) using a compact-density-matrix formalism. The calculated spectra show pronounced OACs, reaching values as high as 9.5×106m−1, with significant RICs modulation. The nonlinear contributions to both OACs and RICs are found to be stronger for ⟨m⟩=3−4, while they remain weaker for ⟨m⟩=2. This behavior arises from the combined effects of quantum and dielectric confinements, as well as the effective-mass mismatch. Our results provide quantitative insight into how reduced dimensionality and dielectric environment shape the optical response in RP‒HOPs, highlighting their potential as tunable platforms for advanced electro-optic and integrated photonic applications.
