Abstract

Optical nonlinearities of bulk GaAs and GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well samples are measured and compared over the wavelength region in the vicinity of bandgap at room temperature. The maximum index variation (Δ₀n) is found to increase by a maximum of a factor of 3 as the well size is decreased from bulk to 76 A. The nonlinear absorption spectra are analyzed using a semi-empirical fit.
