II II 耦合强度较弱时,体系的吸收特性呈现出隧穿诱导透明现象，然而当点间隧穿耦 合强度较强时，体系中的隧穿诱导透明效应将被 Autler-Townes splitting 效应所取 代。研究体系的非线性情况，我们发现在半导体量子点分子系统中空间光孤子能 够在弱光激发下形成。所形成的空间光孤子是亮空间光孤子还是暗空间光孤子取 决于点间隧穿耦合强度和失谐量的大小。且获得体系暗、亮空间光孤子之间的转 变条件。通过计算点间隧穿耦合强度对孤子幅度的影响发现，随着点间隧穿耦合 强度的增加，空间光孤子的幅度总是呈现出先减小、后增加的趋势。 最后，我们对全文的研究工作进行简要的总结的同时，也对半导体量子点 系统中的 EIT 这一前沿研究领域有关的非线性光学效应的后续工作进行了展望。 关键词：半导体量子点；电磁诱导透明；空间光孤子；Kerr 非线性 III III Abstract Spatial optical solitons, which are localized optical beams, form in optical media when the refractive nonlinearity effect compensates for the beam diffraction effect. However, in passive media (for example, optical fibers), the generation of the conventional spatial optical solitons required high-powered lasers but the nonlinear effect is extremely weak. As a result, spatial optical solitons is hardly generated under the condition of a weak excitation. Fortunately, electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) was found to lead to great enhancement in nonlinear effects even under weak driving optical pulsed field. EIT, which is a quantum interference effects among the transitions of atomic levels induced by laser in the interaction process of laser and atomic system, can render an otherwise opaque medium transparent to the light field. It is also possible to realize EIT phenomenon in semiconductor quantum dots. This is because the quantum dot possesses some properties which are similar to those of atomic system, such as discrete energy levels and controllable coherent quantum evolution. At the same time, such a system also has the inherent advantages such as large electric dipole moments of the transitions, as well as easily operating and integrating. Consequently, it is of interest to extend the quantum coherent and interference effects from atomic system to semiconductor nanostructures, not only for comprehending of the nature of quantum coherence and interference effects in semiconductor nanostructures, also for the possible realization of optical devices based on such coherent
