In the present paper, the linear and non-linear optical properties of GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well with on-center and on-edge delta doping are studied within the effective mass approximation. The delta potential is analytically modeled within each quantum well potential to obtain the energy levels and the corresponding wave functions using the robust finite difference method. The linear and non-linear optical absorption coefficients and changes in the refractive index are studied in the presence of a static magnetic and a periodic laser field using the density matrix approach. The obtained results show that the position of resonances and the amplitude of the optical absorption coefficients and the refractive index changes can be modified by varying the magnetic field and strength and position of doping potential. Lastly, an increase of the optical intensity appreciably changes the total absorption coefficient, as well as the total refractive index changes. Obtained results are important for the design of various electronic components such as high-power FETs and infrared photonic devices based on the intersubband transition of electrons in δ-doped multiple quantum wells.

CdP0.03Te0.97 thin films were deposited at room temperature using thermal evaporation and annealed at 100 and 200°C. The effect of annealing temperature Tann on both dispersion energy Ed and oscillating energy Eo were studied. The lattice dielectric constant εL and free carrier concentration/effective mass N/m* were calculated for these samples. The values of the first order of moment M-1, the third order of moment M-3, and static refractive index no were determined. Both of dielectric loss ε\ and dielectric tangent loss ε\\ for these films increased with photon energy (hν) and had the highest value higher than the energy gap Eg. All of the optical parameters such as real part of optical conductivity σ1, the imaginary part of optical conductivity σ2 and the relation between Volume Energy Loss/ Surface Energy Loss (VEL/SEL) were determined. The linear optical susceptibility χ(1) increased with Tann. The influence of annealing temperatures on all of the non-linear refractive index n2, the third-order non-linear optical susceptibility χ(3), and non-linear absorption coefficient βc were studied. Both of the electrical susceptibility χe and relative permittivity εr increased with Tann and had the highest value higher than Eg. The dependence of density valence band, conduction band, and position of Fermi level Ef were studied.

Abstract In this work, optical properties of undoped zinc oxide (ZnO) and chromium (Cr) doped ZnO prepared at different concentrations of Cr (2, 3, and 5 wt.%) on glass substrates by a spray pyrolysis method are reported. The structural properties investigated by X-ray diffraction revealed the hexagonal wurtzite structure, noting that the crystallite size of the films decreases with increasing Cr content. The optical characterization of the samples was carried out using spectral transmittance. The refractive index, energy gap, and extinction coefficient of pure and Cr-doped ZnO thin films have been calculated. The single oscillator model of Wemple–DiDomenico was used to study the dispersion of the refractive index. The oscillator parameters, the single oscillator energy, the dispersion energy, and the static refractive index were determined. The linear optical susceptibility and non-linear optical susceptibility were also studied and discussed. These promising results achieved by Cr-doping of ZnO exhibited an important behavior for technological applications in electronic, optoelectronic devices and non-linear optical applications.

In the present work, UV- Visible spectra of 2-Chloro-3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde (2,3,4-CDMB) compound  have been carried out experimentally and theoretically. The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of title compound in three solvents (Acetone, Diethyl Ether, CCl4) of different polarity were examined in the range of 200–500 nm. The structure of the molecule was optimized and the structural characteristics were determined by HF and DFT (B3LYP) methods with 6-31+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) as basis sets. The excitation energy, wavelength corresponds to absorption maxima () and oscillator strength (f) are calculated by Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) using B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) as basis sets. The electric dipole moment (μ), polarizability (α) and the first hyperpolarizability (β ) have been computed to evaluate the non-linear optical (NLO) response of the investigated compound by HF and DFT (B3LYP) with already mentioned basis sets. Thermodynamic functions of the title compound at different temperatures were also calculated.
