The modal analysis of two-channel AOM. (A) Band structure of the CdSe/ZnS core/shell two-channel AOM which indicates that the difference between the ground states of the valence and conductive bands in defined QDs is about 2.2 eV for channel 1 and 2 eV for channel 2. Also, the difference between the ground state and excited state of the conductive bands is 0.4 eV for channel 1 and 0.25 eV for channel 2. (B) Wave functions of CdSe QDs simulated by solving 3D Schrodinger equation in FEM software. A cross section of 3D core/shell structure in x–y plane is specified and the wave function of GSc s (left) and ESc s (right) of main mode is illustrated for channel-1 and (C) for channel-2.
