SECOND-HARMONIC GENERATION OF THE SURFACE MAGNETOPLASMON ON THE LATERAL SURFACE OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR SUPERLATTICE BOUNDED BY A METAL
The resonant second-harmonic generation process of the surface magnetoplasma wave (SM) propagating across an external magnetic field on the lateral surface of the semiconductor superlattice bounded by a metal is studied. The lateral surface is perpendicular to the layers of the periodic structure and is parallel to the directions of the superlattice axis and the external magnetic field. The latter is assumed to quantize the electrodynamical properties of two-dimensional conducting layers of the semiconductor superlattice. The consideration is carried out in the approximation of the continuous anisotropic medium characterized by an effective dielectric tensor of the superlattice. The numerical estimates showing the efficiency of the second-harmonic generation are carried out for superlattices on the base of GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructures.
