Abstract

In the effective mass approximation, the charge density, the potential profile, the wavefunctions, and the corresponding energy states for zinc sulfide spherical quantum dot have been self-consistently solved, which is embedded in the polymeric media (PVP) by the imaginary time propagation method. Moreover, for the first time, the oscillator strength, linear, third order nonlinear, and total optical absorption coefficients for the transition between intersubbands 1s-1p, 1p-1d, 1d-1f, 1f-1g, 1g-1h, and 1h-1i are investigated with respect to photon energy and the saturation strength has been calculated for every transition too. Calculated result shows that the oscillator strength and the magnitude of optical absorption coefficients are enhanced for transition between intersubbands with higher energies. Also, calculations show that the total absorption coefficient depends on the strength of incident optical intensity and relaxation time.
