摘要
The propagation of light through quantum wells in the vicinity of an excitonic resonance subjected to a THz electric field is considered. The treatment makes explicit the relationship between THz sideband generation and resonant photon tunneling through a time-dependent resonant -tunneling structure. A method for the coherent control of excitons in quantum wells is also suggested. [S0163-1829(99)11927-1].
