Intersubband transitions in quantum wells under intense laser field

Applied Physics A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

An intense laser field effect on the intersubband transitions in quantum wells is theoretically investigated within the framework of the effective-mass approximation. Results obtained show that intersubbband optical transitions and energy levels in quantum wells can be significantly modified and controlled by an intense laser field.
