Abstract

Here we have investigated the influence of external electric field and magnetic field on the optical absorption and refractive index changes of a parabolically confinement wire in the presence of Rashba spin orbit interaction. We have used density matrix formulation for obtaining optical properties within the effective mass approximation. The results are presented as a function of quantum wire radius, electric field, magnetic field, Rashba spin orbit interaction strength and photon energy. Our results indicate an increase of electric field redshifts the peak positions of absorption coefficient and refractive index changes. The role of confinement strength and spin orbit interaction strength as control parameters on the linear and nonlinear properties have been demonstrated.
