Abstract

In this study, the first-order linear, third-order nonlinear, and total absorption coefficients for the intersubband transition between the two lower-lying electronic levels in both symmetric and asymmetric double Morse quantum wells under the non-resonant high-frequency intense laser field are investigated. The study takes into account the effects of the structure parameters. The results show that the electronic and also accordingly optical properties of the structures which we focus on can be adjustable to obtain a convenient response to certain studies or purposes by changing the applied external field and optical intensity as well as structure parameters.
