Tóm tắt
The quantisation of electronic energy into subbands in low-dimensional structures originates
many interesting physical effects, one of which is the electrophonon resonance effect. In this
work, we investigate the electrophonon resonance by theoretically calculating the optical absorption
power in n i p i superlattices (SLs) subjected to a high frequency electromagnetic
wave. The absorption power is calculated up to the first-order nonlinear term using the projection
operator technique taking account of the effect of electron – optical phonon interaction. Numerical
results are obtained and discussed for the GaAs:Si/GaAs:Be SL. The linear and nonlinear
optically detected electrophonon resonance (ODEPR) peaks are observed in the absorbance. The
full width at half maximum (FWHM) of ODEPR peaks increases with increasing the doping
concentration as well as temperature. In particular, the results show that the two-photon absorption
is of great importance and should be considered in nonlinear optics. This investigation
