Title

Influence of quantum coherence on propagation of a pulsed light in a triple quantum well

Author(s)

Chen, Aixi

Abstract

In a triple semiconductor quantum well structure coupled by two external fields, we investigate the influence of atomic coherence induced by external fields and decay interference on the absorption and dispersion of a weak pulsed light, and slow light can be achieved in this system. Quantum well structure behaves as 'artificial atom' and its advantage of easy integration makes it has some practical applications.
