In this paper, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of an electron in both
symmetric and asymmetric double quantum wells that consist of a harmonic potential with an
internal Gaussian barrier under a nonresonant intense laser field. The electronic structure was
obtained by using the two-dimensional diagonalization method. To calculate the linear and nonlinear
absorption, and refractive index coefficients, a combination of the standard density matrix formalism
and the perturbation expansion method was used. The obtained results show that the electronic
and thereby optical properties of the considered parabolic–Gaussian double quantum wells could
be adjusted to obtain a suitable response to specific aims with parameter alterations such as well
and barrier width, well depth, barrier height, and interwell coupling, in addition to the applied
nonresonant intense laser field.
