Large room-temperature optical nonlinearity in GaAs/Ga1−x Al x As multiple quantum well structures
Abstract
We report the first measurements of optical absorption saturation in GaAs/GaAlAs multiple quantum well (MQW) structures at room temperature near the heavy hole exciton peak. Linear absorption shows distinct exciton peaks at room temperature in the MQW and we deduce this is because the confinement increases exciton binding energy without increasing LO phonon coupling. This room-temperature MQW absorption also saturates more readily than that in a comparable GaAs sample; the measured saturation intensity is 580 W/cm2 with a recombination time of 21 ns in a MQW with 102-Å GaAs layers. From this we predict a nonlinear refraction coefficient n2∼2×10−5 cm2/W. This large nonlinearity should permit room-temperature optical devices compatible with laser diode wavelengths, materials and power levels.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
