Abstract

The combined effects of intense THz laser field, magnetic field and in-plane electric field on electronic states and intraband optical properties of single isotropic quantum dots and rings are investigated using the non-perturbative Floquet theory in the high-frequency limit. Here we show that the change of the electric field direction for fixed values of intense THz laser field parameter can recover the degeneracy of the excited states and the dipole-allowed transition intensities in a quantum dot. Additionally, it is shown that in isotropic quantum rings the intense THz laser and the in-plane electric field create unusual Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. For fixed values of the intense THz laser field parameter, the amplitudes of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations can be effectively tuned by changing the electric field direction. Furthermore, for fixed values of the electric field strength and the laser field parameter the intraband optical properties can be effectively tuned by changing the electric field direction. Therefore, it can be asserted that circular quantum dots or circular rings in the intense THz laser field are equivalent to anisotropic quantum dots or rings respectively, and the electric field direction effectively tunes the single-electron energy spectrum and intraband optical properties of these structures.
