Abstract

Using the density matrix theory, we have studied the double tunneling induced transparency slow light in the double asymmetry quantum dot molecules. With applied electric field, double tunneling induced transparency occur in the same time. Four absorption peaks are found near the resonance energy level in the absorption spectrum and the absorption peak can be tuned by the applied electric field. The velocity and bandwidth of the multiple-windows slow light can also be controlled by the applied electric field. In our model, with Te = 0.1 meV, we can get about 0.001c and 20 GHz bandwidth in each transparency window. Such a property may be applied in all optical buffers, optical switching and filter.
