文摘The density matrix approach has been employed to investigate the opticalnonlinear polarization in a single semiconductor quantum dot(QD). Electron states are considered tobe confined within a quantum dot with infinite potential barriers. It is shown, by numericalcalculation, that the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities for a typical Si quantum dot isdependent on the quantum size of the quantum dot and the frequency of incident light.
