Abstract

An investigation of an exciton bound in a parabolic two dimensional quantum dot by a donor impurity has been carried out by using the matrix diagonalization method and the compact density-matrix approach. The linear, third-order nonlinear, total optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes have been calculated for the s-p, p-d, and d-f transitions. The results show that the parabolic potential has a great effect on the optical absorptions. The calculated results also reveal that as the angular momentum quantum numbers of transitions increase, the optical absorption and refractive index peaks shift towards lower energies and the absorption and refractive index intensities increase.
