Optical rectification and third harmonic generation of spherical quantum dots: Controlling via external factors

In this paper simultaneous effects of pressure, temperature, external electric field and laser radiation on the optical rectification and third harmonic generation of a spherical quantum dot with parabolic confinement and dressed impurity are studied. By means of matrix diagonalization technique, energy eigenvalues and functions are evaluated and used to find the optical rectification coefficient and third harmonic generation of the system via density operator method. It is shown that these nonlinear optical quantities strongly depend on pressure, temperature, electric field, confinement frequency and dressing laser intensity. Obvious effects of these external factors propose new facilities with different effects to control nonlinear optical properties of such systems.
