Abstract

A theoretical analysis of the optical second-harmonic generationarising from intersubband transitions in a quantum well embedded in anasymmetric Fabry–Perot microcavity is presented. Starting fromthe Maxwell–Lorentz equations, and thereafter matching theboundary conditions, the field at the second-harmonic frequency in thequantum-well microcavity system is determined. Following the samescheme the field at the fundamental frequency in the quantum-wellmicrocavity system is also obtained. By using the transfer-matrixapproach the influences of the distributed Bragg reflector are alsoincluded. The second-harmonic generation conversion efficiency in themicrocavity structure is thus determined. By carrying out detailednumerical calculations for different confinements of the cavity, theinfluences of the microcavity on optical second-harmonic generationare shown.
