Abstract :
The influence of permanent dipole moments of quantized states on intersubband second harmonic generation based on quantum-interference induced transparency in semiconductor quantum wells is explored using the harmonic balance method. The permanent moments are found to be quite important: they affect the transparency condition, especially at larger pump intensities. Hence, both the conversion efficiency and the optimal interaction path length change significantly when accounting for the permanent moments, and the conversion efficiency is reduced
