Abstract

The dielectric response of an electron gas in a cylindrical quantum well is calculated when the electron motion in the angular direction is restricted. The dielectric response is shown to depend in a nontrivial way on the angle of restriction β thereby making it possible to tune the optical response to external electromagnetic radiation. The resonant absorption wavelength can be adjusted by changing β over a wide range which might be used in optoelectronic detectors.
