Comment on “Linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes in asymmetrical Gaussian potential quantum wells with applied electric field”

Abstract

Guo and Du (2013) reported theirs result for the linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes in asymmetrical Gaussian potential quantum wells with applied electric field. We find both the energy and the corresponding wavefunction for the low-lying state are wrong to applied in their works. For the same set of parameters studied by Guo and Du, we obtain new and reliable results via the differential method.
