Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical investigation of quantum beats of excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs circular cylindrical quantum wires. A three-level model of excitons, including a ground state and two excited states, has been applied to derive the renormalized wavefunctions and the time-dependent absorption intensity of excitons when the system is irradiated by a strong pump laser resonating with the distance between the two excited-levels. Our results show that a periodic oscillation form of the absorption intensity, obvious evidence of the quantum beat behavior, has appeared. Furthermore, the mechanism of the generation, as well as the effects of the wire radius and the pump laser detuning on the frequency (period) and amplitude of quantum beats, have been explained in detail. These results suggest potential applications in the fabrication of some quantum computation devices.
