Abstract

We study the harmonic generation spectrum in a semiconductor superlattice (a quantum-dot array) at slow relaxation. The effect of a single-mode response in an alternating rectangular (meander) electric field is demonstrated: For certain values of field parameters, the extremely wide discrete output spectrum with slowly decaying tails (multiharmonic generation) shrinks to one single harmonic (single-harmonic generation). Similarly, the effect is manifested in the transient continuous spectrum by diminishing the divergencies (peaks) at all odd harmonics but one. Substantial control over the spectrum is demonstrated.
