Effects of electric field and structure on the electromagnetically induced transparency in double quantum dot

We theoretically investigated the effects of electric field and structural parameters of the confining potential on the optical properties of a GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum dot related to the occurrence of the electromagnetically induced transparency phenomenon, using the compact density-matrix formalism and the effective mass approximation. The dependences of the absorption coefficient, refraction index and light group velocity on the Rabi frequency of the control field, intensity of the static electric field, asymmetry parameter of the potential and dot dimension are discussed in detail. It is found that electromagnetically induced transparency occurs in the system for intermediate field values and its transparency window for probe field absorption and sub- and super-luminal frequency interval of the probe field are blueshifted by the increment of the electric field strength and dot dimension but are redshifted by the augment of the asymmetry parameter of the potential.
