In this work we present model calculations and experimental verification of the giant nonlinear coefficients provided by intersubband transitions in hole-doped Ge/SiGe and Si/SiGe asymmetric quantum wells in the mid-infrared. We develop a model for the valence band-structure of the SiGe alloy including heavy-hole, light-hole and split-off bands for any value of Ge concentration, so as to obtain heterojunction parameters for the calculation of the wavefunction of confined hole states in quantum wells.

Abstract

In this work we present model calculations and experimental verification of the giant nonlinear coefficients provided by intersubband transitions in hole-doped Ge/SiGe and Si/SiGe asymmetric quantum wells in the mid-infrared. We develop a model for the valence band-structure of the SiGe alloy including heavy-hole, light-hole and split-off bands for any value of Ge concentration, so as to obtain heterojunction parameters for the calculation of the wavefunction of confined hole states in quantum wells.
