Abstract :
The nonlinear optical properties of an off-center hydrogenic donor in a two-dimensional quantum dot under applied magnetic field are investigated in detail by using the matrix diagonalization method. Based on the computed energies and wave functions, the linear, third-order and total optical absorption coefficients as well as the refractive index changes have been examined between the ground state ( L = 0 ) and the first excited state ( L = 1 ) . The results show that the ion position, the applied magnetic field, the confinement frequency, and the incident optical intensity have an important influence on the nonlinear optical properties of off-center donors.
