摘要
We report second harmonic generation measurements in p-type GaAs/Al0.5Ga0.5As/AlAs stepped quantum wells using a free electron laser tunable from 3 to 6 mu m. The peak enhancement of the second order susceptibility in singly resonant quantum wells over that of bulk GaAs is nearly one order of magnitude. The dominant contribution is from the term related to pi(xyz)((2)) and chi(zxy)((2)), which is in contrast to n-type quantum well, where chi(zzz)((2)) dominates. The enhancement peaks at 3.9 mu m, which is attributed to a single resonance corresponding to the SO-HH1 transition.
