Carrier-envelope-phase dependent coherence in double quantum wells

Opt Express. 2009 Aug 31;17(18):15402-8. doi: 10.1364/OE.17.015402.

Abstract

By analyzing the interaction of a few-cycle laser pulse within an asymmetric semiconductor double quantum well structure, we show that the transient coherence thus produced is strongly dependent on the carrier-envelope-phase (CEP) and significantly enhanced due to the Fano-type interference. A method to determine the CEP is proposed by directly mapping the CEP dependent coherence to the quantum beat signals.
