RESUMEN
In this study, we report theoretically the effect of well, barrier widths and polarization on optical properties of intersubband transitions (ISBT) in CdSe/MgSe asymmetric quantum wells (ADQWs). Eigenenergies and their corresponding wave functions have been calculated by solving numerically the Schrödinger equation. The second harmonic generation and the optical rectification including intersubband transition energies have been discussed. Obtained results revealed that intersubband transition depends strongly on the quantum wells and the barrier widths as well as the stark effect. With appropriate intensity, optical rectification can reach great magnitude. We hope that the numerical results of our research are valuable theoretically and experimentally to our scientific community in nonlinear optics.
