Abstract

In this paper, we will study the effect of quantum confinement potential on the linear and nonlinear optical properties of a coaxial quantum wire at the presence of spin-orbit interaction and simultaneous influence of external electric and magnetic fields. To do this by solving the Schrödinger equation numerically, we calculate the energy eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the system at the presence of spin-orbit interaction and external fields. Using the new eigenfunctions and eigenvalues, we will be able to calculate the absorption coefficient and refractive index and study the effect of quantum confinement and spin-orbit interaction on these optical properties.
