Abstract
The effect of the depolarization field on the nonlinear intersubband absorption spectrum of a rectangular quantum well (described by the two-subband model) is discussed. Calculations are performed in the framework of the density-matrix formulation with use of the relaxation-time approximation. Obtained results show that the depolarization effect not only shifts the peak by an amount depending on the intensity of the incident light but also leads to a significant distortion (asymmetry) of the line shape.
