Abstract
We investigate quantum optical behaviors of a weak-probe laser field in an asymmetric semiconductor three-coupled-quantum wells (TCQW) structure based on intersubband transitions (ISBTs) via switch-on/off of terahertz (TH) signal radiation under the application of a control laser field. A scheme for TH signal detection and its strength measurement based on this probe absorption characteristic also are put forward, where TH signal field does not interact directly with electron, but significantly affects the coherent optical absorption properties of such a weak-probe laser field. Consequently, the proposed TCQW nanostructure may be used for reducing and cancelling out the important thermionic dark current component in the process of TH signal detection, measurement and photodetector design.
